Eye irritation and headache.
I am a digital cartographer, so my I work on computer for around 10 to 12 hours a day. From few days I feel irritation in eyes and sometimes headache while working. But this goes away within an hour after switching off the computer. Please give advice what should I do.
Most of software professionals don't know how to work on computer for long time without giving trouble to eyes. While working on computer number of blinking drastically goes down from around 24 per minute to around 8 per minute leading to severe dryness causing burning, eyestrain, blurring of vision & headache. One should try to have normal blinking while working on computer, should look away from screen after every 10 minute , should take rest for 10 minute after every 2 hours& should wear antiglare glass. Software professionals should use lubricating eye drops 4-5 times daily (Systane ultra)&genteal gel once at bed time.
