Prevent Digital Eye Strain

Are your eyes feeling the strain after a long day of screen time as a trader? It should be no surprise as traders do their work almost entirely on computer screens! Your eyes play a critical role in your trading so it's important to take good care of them. The good news is there are easy ways to keep your eyes comfortable and healthy. 

HERE ARE 5 SIMPLE TIPS TO PREVENT DIGITAL EYE STRAIN:

1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule

• Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. This helps your eyes refocus and reduces strain.

2. Blink More Frequently

• When focusing on screens, we tend to blink less, which can lead to dry eye symptoms. Try to blink often to keep your eyes moist and refreshed.

3. Adjust Your Screen Settings

• Lower your screen brightness and increase contrast to reduce glare and make it easier on your eyes.

4. Use Proper Lighting

• Avoid working in the dark with a bright screen. Proper room lighting reduces glare and eye strain while keeping your focus sharp.

5. Consider Blue Light Lenses

• Blue light from screens can contribute to eye strain and even disrupt your sleep. Blue light lenses filter out harmful light, reducing strain and improving comfort, especially during extended screen time.
