- 20-20-20 Rule
Gazing one subject for a long time could cause eye strain. From a scientific point of view, it is recommended to take a break and focus on something at least 20 feet away from you for about 20 seconds after you spend 20 minutes on a computer. 20-second is a timespan that your eyes could completely relax. Some people might find it hard to measure a 20-feet distance. In fact, being accurate is not the key. Just look at something far away from you, for instance, a tree over a street.
- The Eye Roll Exercise
Another way to ease your eye fatigue is by rolling your eyes. Seat comfortably and keep your head fixed. Roll both of your eyes slowly in a clockwise direction and then in a counter-clockwise motion. Do it two to three minutes
- The Figure Eight (Infinity Loop)
Keep a seated position, and imagine there is a horizontal figure eight in front of you. Slowly trace the number with your eyes for a few minutes, then switch the direction to do it again. [3]
