Eyes
I have a terrible headache today. Yesterday I went to the mall, again, and bought a meal from KFC which I took home. From noon till night I watched four videos straight, while eating my take-out meal. I was planning to watch another one since its not yet midnight, but my head is aching. It’s because of my eyes, I strained it too much from watching videos. So I just slept, thinking my headache will be gone by the time I wake up. Then it was morning, I stood up, but my head is still throbbing from the pain. So I just lie down on my bed for a few minutes. I tried to relax my eyes by looking on my light blue painted wall (which I painted for a whole week) coz light colors tend to ‘cool’ tired eyes, even if I just woke up. Then I shifted my focus on the window so that I can view further objects to exercise my iris. It is somewhat a routine for me to exercise my eyes. It’s just that I want to take care of my eyes, and I don’t like wearing glasses or contacts. But long term exposure to the monitor (which by the way I can’t avoid, because it’s a part of my work, and its one of my hobby) of a computer can strain the eyes. And for those like me that stare on computer screens for longer periods of time, you may follow the 20-20-20 rule. That is, for every 20 minutes spent focusing on your computer screen, spend 20 seconds focusing on something else 20 feet away.
Here are a few tips I found while browsing the WikiHow website:
