Why Workplace Eye Health Matters
With more professionals spending extended hours in front of screens, workplace eye health is more important than ever. Digital eye strain, fatigue, and dryness are common issues affecting comfort and productivity. Taking proactive steps to protect your eyes can prevent long-term discomfort and improve visual performance throughout the workday.
Common Workplace Eye Problems & Solutions
1. Eye Fatigue
Spending hours staring at a screen strains your eyes, leading to tiredness, difficulty focusing, and discomfort.
✔ Follow the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at an object 6 meters away for 20 seconds.
✔ Position your screen slightly below eye level, about 60 cm away.
✔ Reduce glare with an anti-reflective screen and proper lighting.
✔ Take regular breaks to stretch and give your eyes a reset.
2. Dry Eyes
Less blinking while looking at screens reduces eye lubrication, causing dryness, irritation, and soreness.
✔ Consciously blink more to refresh and hydrate your eyes.
✔ Keep a sticky note reminder near your screen.
✔ Use artificial tears if dryness persists (consult a professional first).
✔ Adjust indoor humidity levels to maintain a comfortable environment.
