Reduce your eye strain

While reading, sit erect and hold the printed page not less than 32 cms from the eyes and perpendicular to the line of vision. Concentration is much easier in good light than in a poor light. Do not read while lying down. During reading look away and around the room at frequent intervals to rest the focusing muscles. Symptoms of eye strain may occur in other parts of the body also, e.g. repeated headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and twitching of the eyelids. General tired feeling may also be due to eye strain. If rest, outdoor exercise and treatment for general disorders fail to prevent eye strain, consult your health nurse or a competent eye specialist.
