Nobody wants strained eyes, yet hardly anyone can reduce their screen times significantly. The one solution left is to take proactive steps to manage and reduce the risk of damage to your eyes. Here are five tips to keep your eyes healthy without stepping away from your screens.
Tip #1: Ensure Proper Lighting
Having sufficient light can help prevent your eyes from overworking as you use your laptop. Make sure you have adequate light sources around you, whether it’s a desk light, a reading light, or a light bar on your laptop screen. You can consider using anti-glare lighting or softer, warmer lights to ease the eyes from overexertion. Letting the sun light up your room naturally is also helpful.
Tip #2: Take Scheduled Breaks From Screens
Taking regular breaks to look away from your screen can work wonders. The 20-20-20 rule is one practice you can adopt easily. For every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something else at least 20 feet (approx. 6 m) away for 20 seconds. That’s all it takes for our eyes to completely relax. Perhaps getting a quick water refill to stay hydrated is a good way to take a break from the screen?
Tip #3: Wear Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Protect your eyes while making a fashion statement! Blue light blocking glasses are designed with special lenses that filter out certain light wavelengths. This feature effectively reduces the intensity of blue light emissions that can damage our retina over time.
Tip #4: Choose OLED Laptops
ASUS OLED laptop displays are proven to give you superb clarity and fidelity while reducing blue light effects by 70%. OLED displays use special organic lighting materials instead of traditional filters. This reduces the amount of blue light transmission while giving you best-in-class colour depth, accuracy, and cinema-grade visual detail.
Unlike LCDs, OLED screens appeared almost all black through the filter, providing significantly lower harmful blue light levels even at 100% brightness.
Tip #5: Adjust your screen settings
Adjust your screen settings, such as contrast and brightness, to optimise your viewing experience. Also keeping the screen at arm’s length away to reduce straining.
With ASUS introducing OLED displays to more products, here are OLED laptop recommendations created for the ultimate visual experience while caring for your eyes.
