Reaction to Office Ergonomics Training: Eyestrain Basics

I chose this topic because I did find it interesting in relation to my condition. I am wearing glasses and often works with computers. In addition, I sometimes find myself having a hard time reading after long hours of reading and find myself afterwards having eyesores. This article made a clearer view for me on what I should do to prevent my eyesores. Before, I only thought that my lack of sleep is the only reason why I am having that feeling with my eyes. I didn't know that the place I work and how I work affects my eyes. Thanks to this article I was informed of this and have given me some tips on how to improve working without having eyestrains.

Before, the only definition of eyestrain for me is the feeling of tiredness of the eyes. But through the article it gave me a lot more idea about eyestrain. I learned that eyestrains are not only caused by long hours of reading. The person's surrounding can also be the cause of eyestrains. Improper strikes of the light towards the eyes may cause eyestrains. Sometimes the light coming from ceiling lights, bright windows, computer screens and the like may cause eyestrains for the person. Also, the person's position is sometimes considered as a factor of causing eyestrains. Different people may have their own comfortable ways of sitting while working / reading. Unaware, people tend to change positions every after feeling discomfort to a position having a bigger chance of getting eyestrain. The article also stated that the mentioned causes of eyestrain have corresponding suggested solutions. One solution that got my attention is the "20/20 rule". As someone who often uses computers I have no idea about this. The rule is made to ease one's eyestrain. Also, a proper distance from the monitor also helps the prevention of eyestrain. These are only few of the aforementioned causes and solutions for eyestrains. For me, I fully recommend to computer users to read and be informed about this article, for them to prevent more eyestrain.
