Khaberni - Eye dryness is one of the common health issues among office workers. So how can it be addressed?
To answer this question, the German Social Accident Insurance stated that office workers can prevent eye dryness by taking a 5-minute break every hour.
Useful Eye Exercises
Eye dryness can also be prevented by performing the following simple exercises beneficial for the optic nerves:
- Frequently and consciously glance at a distance of no less than 40 meters.
- Close your eyes and slowly trace the shape of the number 8.
- Place your palms relaxed over your eyes, and with your eyes slightly closed, be aware of the distance between your eyes and palms.
In case of eye dryness, moisturizing eye drops can be used; where "artificial tears" help compensate for the lost tear fluid, while ensuring to use products free from preservatives; since these substances might cause further eye dryness.
