Working on a stretched laptop can cause eye problems

The Dhaka Times Desk We work on laptops most of the time. Symptoms such as eye pain, blurred vision or watery eyes are seen in many of this generation. In medical terms this is known as 'digital eye strain'.

From an alarm to wake up every morning to an app to remind you to take your medicine before going to sleep, we have it all on our phones. Staring at a laptop or computer for work all day. Even if we don't want to, we have to depend on the machine to keep up with the speed. Excessive dependence on these devices is one of the causes of eye damage. Symptoms such as eye pain, recent blurred vision or watery eyes are seen in many of this generation. In medical terms this is known as 'digital eye strain'. Doctors say that such problems can occur if you look at digital devices continuously for a long time. Many people can't get up in front of the TV without finishing every episode of their favorite series. This mistake can increase the risk of eye damage. So no matter how important the work you are doing, it is important to take a break between work.

What types of problems can occur if digital eye strain occurs?

Staring at a phone or laptop for long periods of time can also cause dry eyes. Eyes may suddenly become blurry while working. The moisture level in the eye can also be depleted. Moreover, the eye muscles can also get tired. That's why many people find it difficult to blink.

What rules to follow to protect the eyes?

The 20-20-20 rule must be followed

Whatever you do on your phone or laptop, you should also make it a habit to look at a specific object 20 feet away (this is called the 20-20-20 rule) for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

Repeated blinking of the eyes

One thing to keep in mind is that you can't stare at anything without blinking. No matter how beautiful the scene, you must practice blinking every now and then.

keep distance

It may be good to lie on the bed or pull the table close to the chest, lean back to work on the computer or watch series on the phone. However, if you don't want to damage your eyes, you have to work with this type of device by maintaining a certain distance. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.

How to prevent dengue

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).

Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.

1. Common dengue fever

2. Dengue fever with bleeding.

In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-

1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.

2. Severe headache.

3. Pain behind the eyes.

4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.

5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.

6. Nausea or vomiting.

7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.

In case of dengue fever with bleeding:

1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.

2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.

If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.

On the other hand

Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.

Things to do to prevent Dengue:

1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.

2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.

3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.

4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.

5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.

6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.

7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.

8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
