Here's why working from home might be giving you eye strain - and what you can do about it
23 Sep 2020
If you’re a glasses or contacts wearer the past few months working from home online, or just being at home a little more may have meant a lot more screen time than usual, and this may have been difficult on your eyes. If this is the case for you then undoubtedly you will have experienced eye fatigue or eye strain over this time. One of the reasons for this is that when we’re at home, in our own comfortable space we’re less likely to move around - whereas in workplaces it’s more likely that we’ll be engaged in meetings, and generally more mobile.
As it looks like we’ll remain at home mostly for the next few months here are some tips to help your eyes feel a little less tired.
Take short breaks
It may seem like an obvious piece of advice, but similarly to driving, it’s very important to take breaks from screen use. Taking breaks every 1-2 hours, even for five minutes will rest your eyes and help with eye fatigue. Introducing a reason to take the break - to get a cuppa or a glass of water, or to step outside for some fresh air, will do you and your eyes the world of good. But if that's not possible then try giving your eyes a break throughout the day by looking away from your monitor without moving from your desk. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
Consider your lighting
As we approach Winter, lighting can become a really important factor when on your screen for large amounts of time. When reading printed materials, try to position the light behind you and direct the light onto your page or task. If you're reading at a desk, use a shaded light positioned in front of you. The shade will keep light from shining directly into your eyes.
Improve the air quality of your space
Working inside all day long with heating on can have a drying impact on your eyes. Some changes that may help prevent dry eyes include using a humidifier, adjusting the thermostat to reduce blowing air and avoiding smoke. Moving your chair to a different area, away from radiators, cookers or any kind of unnatural heat will also help to reduce the amount of dry moving air on your eyes and face.
Considering Laser Eye Surgery?
For over 20 years, Laser Eye Surgery has helped millions of people around the world see more clearly. This safe, painless and quick procedure will not only bring you into a world of crisp and 20/20 vision, it will also save you money on optical bills during your lifetime.
Yes that’s right, Laser Eye Surgery is a way of permanently correcting your vision. So once and for all you can ditch the contacts or glasses and say hello to a new you, with great eyesight so finally you can enjoy the best vision you’ve ever had.

Couldn't rate Optilase high enough. I had Lens Replacement Surgery. My experience from the first phone call to the procedure itself and the aftercare was fantastic. All of the staff from the call centre to the staff in Carrickmines and the theatre were so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend .

I had my PRK done on both eyes , and im happy with the result. The post operation pain was extreme but it settled down after 4 days.
Now i feel great after 2 weeks post operation no complications what so ever , other than blurry vision now and then, but its improving every day

Got LASIK in Ely Place only yesterday and officially had 20/20 vision just 24 hours later! Cannot recommend Optilase enough from my initial consultation with Aisling in Athlone to my trips to Carrickmines and Ely Place. The staff really look after you from the moment you walk in the door and make you feel so at ease from start to finish - 10 out of 10 experience!

I have been wearing glasses for over 20 years. I always hated wearing contact lenses and I got to a time in my life that I needed a change. A friend recommended optilase, I went for the free consultation and the person that did all the exams was really nice and I felt safe and confident enough to go ahead, I was recommended the PRK. I Put on a piece of paper how much I spent and would still spend on glasses for the next 10 years, and the surgery was for sure cheaper than that. My prescription was very high, both eyes, myopia and astigmatism Optilase provided all the information I needed, in clear manner. And they always made clear that there was nothing wrong with my eyes, it was my own choice to go for the surgery. The day of the surgery I was a bit nervous, who wouldn't? But then, from the reception to the surgeon, they were all so nice and welcoming. Hernandez performed the procedure, lovely surgeon, again all information was provided the way it should. I was instructed in what I should and should not do. The actual procedure took less than 15min, I felt nothing, no discomfort or anything. The whole process is very well done by the team, if I remember well around 3 people supporting the surgery plus one other girl providing pos surgery instructions.
Right after the procedure I could already see much better than before without glasses! I couldn't believe it, I cried, thanked everyone and left the clinic knowing that I made the best choice.
The recovery for PRK is a bit longer, I stayed for 2 full days no phones, or any screens. In the dark. If you have a little one, I would recommend to have someone minding them, as you are very limited in what you can do for the day of and day after surgery.
It is hard to open the eyes, the second day after surgery was the toughest, I thought all went wrong as the vision got worst, but again I was advised it could happen.
Note that this was my experience and could be different for other people.
The 3rd day I felt nothing and could see much better already. Light sensitivity was very high, and still, 6 days after surgery, but nothing that a sun glasses would not help.
My vision still blurred, but I need no glasses to see, my eyes feel dry sometimes, but the eye drops provided helps with it and and am very happy with the results already, even knowing it takes a bit longer to fully recover the vision. I'm back to work (screen at 200% to make sure I dont force my eyes too much) and I have had no headaches or anything, which I would have all the time looking at screens for most of my day.
I cannot recommend Optilase enough, they are amazing! If you want to do something for your self and want a place you can trust, go for it, choose Optilase. Thanks to the whole team for one of the best things I did for my self!

Surgeon was great! Talked me through everything as the surgery was happening. Bit of discomfort during surgery and very painful for 2-3 hrs after but put more drops in and took a nap and then completely fine after. Colette for my consultation and post op was so friendly and helpful. Overall, great experience.

I highly recommend Optilase for laser eye surgery. The process from the initial consultation to the post surgery check ups was quite smooth and professional. The staff working at the clinic was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
The surgery was over in minutes and I didn't feel any pain. The doctor kept an open communication with me during the surgery what made a big difference.
