Do you have tired eyes after looking at a computer screen all day?

People who look at a computer all day typically have a high incidence of dry eyes, headaches, and eye strain. The human eye does not focus on a light source, like a tablet or computer, the same way it does to a physical object like when reading a book. The muscles that help the lens of the eye focus are constantly working to focus with a light source versus when you look at an object. One way to help relieve some of these symptoms is to use the "20/20/20 rule"- every 20 minutes while looking at a computer look 20 feet away for 20 seconds and remember to blink. This will help relax your eyes and keep them from drying out.
