YOUR HEALTHY EYE WORKOUT
Revive tired eyes with these simple exercises.
Los Angeles Times (Sunday)26 Sep 2021By Sheryl Kraft

A s we age, it’s important that we have regular ophthalmologist visits to rule out vision-robbing conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (the most common cause of vision loss in people with diabetes) and age-related macular degeneration.

But eye care at home can make a big difference too—especially if you’re suffering from eye fatigue or strain. That’s where simple eye exercises come in.

“When we focus many hours on computer screens or television, we actually blink less frequently. This could lead to dry, irritated and fatigued eyes, blurred vision and headaches,” says Cleveland Clinic ophthalmologist Nicole Bajic, M.D.

With many work-from-home situations continuing through 2021, there’s all the more reason to learn some simple visual gymnastics. Pamper your peepers and practice these several times each day.

BLINK

This motion helps clear debris from the surface of the eye, produces tears to moisten and lubricate the eyes and delivers nutrients to the eye’s structure. Remember the 20-20-20 rule: Look 20 feet away from your computer every 20 minutes for 20 seconds.

YAWN

Don’t worry about being rude: Yawning can help increase the secretion of tears and help moisten dry eyes since it puts muscular tension on the glands of your eye sockets.

DISTANCE YOURSELF

Sitting too close to your computer screen can strain your eyes. The perfect distance is 18 to 25 inches, with your eyes gazing slightly downward (rather than straight ahead or up).

DROP IN

Over-the-counter eye drops containing artificial tears can help moisten dry eyes, which can feel uncomfortable and may sting or burn. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air or applying warm compresses to your eyes can help too, says Bajic.

LOOK AROUND

Close your eyes and, keeping your head still, gently raise them toward the ceiling, to the left, to the right, then down to the floor. Repeat three times.

CHANGE YOUR FOCUS

Hold a finger in front of one eye while focusing on it. As you slowly move it away, shift your focus into the distance. Slowly return your focus back to the finger as you return it to starting point, then shift your focus to something 8 feet away. Repeat three times.

DO FIGURE EIGHTS

Picture a large number 8 lying on its side about 10 feet ahead. Slowly trace the number with your eyes a few times, then reverse.

and you just thought it was a pretty color!

💙🔵🔷 The color blue is great for promoting high levels of thought. Research suggests that people with highly intellectual work, which requires a high cognitive load, like programmers and academics, are more productive in a blue environment.

Tips for a Smooth Return to the Office

Prioritize the Safety of Your Employees
The first consideration you must take into account is the safety of your employees. You might, for example, limit the number of people working in the facility at the same time. You might also require employees to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and take temperatures before anyone can enter the office.

Listen to Employee Concerns
Explain the safety protocol you’ll put in place and how you’re complying with local laws. If an employee has extenuating circumstances, such as an underlying condition that puts them in the most vulnerable population, you should make efforts to make special arrangements to protect them.

Don’t Do It All at Once
The return to the office will inevitably happen gradually. In order to reopen in an organized way, it’s essential to do it on a step-by-step basis.

Establish Clear Procedures
Outline clear procedures for you as an employer and your employees, including social distancing protocols, how people are expected to use their workspaces, steps for communicating in situations like meetings, and whatever else is essential for keeping your workplace safe and comfortable for everyone. Distribute these guidelines to each employee and post them prominently.

Consider Giving Workers the Option of Continuing to Work Remotely
Some employees won’t be able to return to the office, while others may prefer to continue to work from home. Consider giving the employees the option of working remotely at least some of the time.

Rethink Workspaces
You’ll need to rethink workspaces, enabling social distance within the office entirely. Also, think about:
• Moving desks and workstations to keep everyone at a safe distance
• Changing the layouts of shared spaces, like kitchens and meeting rooms
• No-touch badge scanners, soap and hand sanitizer dispensers, trash cans, and other equipment
• Automatic doors
• Providing PPE to employees
• Establish a disinfecting cleaning routine for the workspace, too.

Provide the Necessary Technology
Work with your IT department or a software outsourcing company to ensure employees have the necessary tools to do their jobs, whether they’re working remotely or in the office. Of course, you’ll want to continue to offer systems for collaboration, such as chat and video platforms.
