Exercise your eyes too

Ever heard of Computer Vision Syndrome? You might not have but chances are you've experienced it at one point or another. Afterall, if you're reading this, you've used a computer, and the majority of us use computers for several hours a day. CVS is characterized by dry, red eyes, headaches, neck and back pain, double vision and trouble focusing. Yikes -- it sounds serious.

So what can you do to reduce the effects of CVS? Taking breaks is important, whether you physically walk away from the computer or simply just look at something else for a few minutes. Use artificial tears to reduce any dryness and lower your computer so you're looking down on the computer rather than straight on.
