The Dhaka Times Desk Constantly staring at a digital screen be it a computer or mobile, the danger is that we forget to blink. So what is the solution?
Dry eye problems are not uncommon now. The main reason is the computer or smartphone screen. Constantly looking at these screens causes various eye problems from a young age. But the solution to this problem can be an exercise.
In this regard, doctors say, if we keep looking at the digital screen all the time, we forget to blink our eyes, there is such a danger. Every time you breathe, you should blink. That is, at least 18 times a minute. By doing so, some oily and watery substances spread over the gem and help to keep the eye healthy. But if you look at the screen in one mind, you blink only 5-9 times, not 18 times. And then the eyes begin to dry. Eye symptoms called 'dry eye syndrome' occur.
Apart from that, working for a long time also puts strain on the muscles as the gem has to constantly rotate around the screen. Eyes get tired. The longer the work goes on, the greater the danger. Those with too much minus power in their eyes have more problems. Even if you work without wearing glasses, the problem is more. When we look at the mobile or computer screen, we do not blink completely. Eyes remain slightly open while blinking. That increases the problem of dry eyes.
How often to blink and how to exercise the eyes?
# You rub your palms together for a while. The heat generated in the palms due to friction, close the eyes and place the hands over both eyes. Don't stress it. Lightly heat the eyes. You can do this at least 3/4 times a day in between work. This will keep your eyes healthy.
# Another one is that every 3/4 seconds the eyelids are removed which also relieves many eye problems. It is good to do this eye exercise from time to time, especially if you are looking at the computer in one way. Frequent blinking of the eyelids for 1 minute continuously is also considered a very beneficial practice. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
