Look Away from the Screen
It sounds simple—and it is: You need to look away from your computer monitor, or frankly, from any other screen to give your eyes a break. This could mean staring at an object in the distance for a minute while you think, getting up to stretch your legs and get a glass of water, or simply blinking consciously and regularly. Another idea is to close your eyes while you’re on the phone. (Just don’t fall asleep during a boring conference call!) The more ways you can find to give your eyes a rest throughout the day, the better you’ll feel!

Get in Position
The top of your computer screen should be at eye level and the monitor should be placed about two feet away from you. That way, your gaze will be slightly downward, making it less likely to cause eyestrain.
Relax with Warmth
For instant relief of eyestrain, quickly rub your hands together for a few seconds to warm them, then place the palms over your closed eyelids. Take a few deep breaths and relax all of the muscles of your face. The warmth will create soothing relief for your strained eye muscles. Repeat as needed throughout the day.
Back in Black
Now you have even more justification for wearing black, other than that it’s chic. Believe it or not, your shirt color can have an effect on computer glare—and therefore on your eyes. White and light-colored shirts tend to produce reflection, while dark-colored shirts don’t. When it comes to eyestrain, black is still the new black.
Gimme Some Contrast
To give your eyes a break, turn down the brightness on your computer monitor. By increasing the contrast, you can make up for the dimness, and you’ll notice a big difference in how your eyes feel.
