*Protecting your eyes👁️👁️ during the lockdown*

It is no longer news that due to the Covid-19 many nations are on a lockdown. People are being asked to stay home in order to stop the spread of the disease.
Some organisations have asked their staff to work from home and children are given tasks to do online.

The only means of communication with family and friends is either through a phone call or social media platforms.
There is a massive exposure to the screens of digital devices and this exposure is causing many people to experience Digital Eye strain

Symptoms of Digital eye strain are
• Eye aches
• Headaches
• Blurry Vision
• Dry eye
• Itchy eyes
• Tired eyes
• Light sensitivity

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and you're worried because you cannot get access to your eye doctor, here are a few things you can do at home to get relief

1. Obey the 20-20-20 rule
This states that you look away from your device every 20 mins, stare at an object 20 ft away for 20 secs

2. Have a proper work station with enough lighting

3. Make deliberate efforts to blink. Blinking helps to circulate tears around the eyes and gives relief from dry eyes

4. Reduce screen time. When you're not working, engage in activities that do not require the use of a digital device.
