Side affects and solution

As you said, these are the most common symptoms of over using your eyes in front of your computer. The method I use to stop these pains is to just close my eyes and relax (sometimes i fall asleep during the relaxation process). The headaches go away quickly but eye pains still linger a bit.

the side effects you have mentioned is the most common ones experienced by everyone who uses the computer for a long period without breaks... like you have said, washing with cold water does really fresh your eyes and your mind... your concentration becomes more clear for a short period though... what I normally do is, whenever I feel tired, loss of concentration or interest or have sore eyes, I will take a 5 to 10 minutes break from the work I'm doing... I will just close my eyes for 5 minutes, clear my mind and thoughts, stay calm and open my eyes... it gives me a sense of freshness just the same way as the water... I suggest you and all my friends reading this to try it... it does keep you fresh... you can also listen to your favourite songs and do some walking or talking on the phone with your friends or loved ones... hope this will help you and benefit others... have a nice day guys...

good advice. But I prefer wash my face with warm water. I feel better that way.

if i got eye strain cause of over soak infront of computer i usually close my eye and massage it, rest for awhile and walk around, have small chat with my colleagues then go back to work after 15 minutes..
