Tips for Eye Care
With
so many of us spending lots of time in front of the computer every day it comes
to no surprise that research is showing a rise in visual problems. What can one
do? First, it's important to find out how you can protect your eyes through eye
health exams and by making a few minor changes in your computer viewing habits.
Here are some helpful Eye Care Tips
Positioning
is everything
Correct positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm's length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.

Lighting
can make all the difference
Room lighting should be diffuse, not direct, to reduce glare and reflections from your screen. Look into an internal or external glare screen and be sure to set your colour, contrast and brightness levels to suit you.

A
little extra help for your glasses
Anti-reflective coatings on the lenses of your glasses can be applied by your optometrist to reduce discomfort and to ease reduced vision from bright and/or flickering light sources such as VDTs and fluorescent lights. And don't forget, your doctor of optometry can talk to you about eyeglasses designed specifically for people who use computers a lot.

Take
time out, our 20-20-20 rule
Step I :-
After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your
Head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This
Changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.
Step II :-
Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them.
Step III :-
Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes
Of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.

It's
all in the blinking
Did you know that on average we blink 12 times per minute? But wait, did you know that when we're on the computer we only blink 5 times per minute? That can add up to dry eyes. Relieve the discomfort by using artificial tear drops or gels and remember to blink!

Palming
Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.

Splash
water on your face
During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.

Use
tea bags
Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.

Eat healthy
Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.

How to Handle Problemtic Child
Is it difficult to
cope with your child's ill temper?
Here are ways you can
deal with it without using the stick.
PROBLEM
CHILD: Ignorance is the best remedy for tantrums
Some children often
have tantrums to prove that they're grownup and dislike being given directions
by adults. You know your child has a full-blown temper when he/she cries
excessively, screams and even at times hurt themselves. Curb your child's
tantrum by handling it the right way.
STICK TO A PLAN
It is important that parents stick to certain ground rules. If your child knows earlier that certain things are not acceptable by you, they will never try crossing paths with you regarding the same. Also, always make sure you have a solid reason for your decision. Don't just state it in order to be authoritative.

DON'T MOCK, YELL OR HIT
Showing that you have authority by screaming at them or beating them up will just do no good. Some parents also replicate the behaviour of their child, thus giving them opportunity to throw more tantrums. Do not respond to their bad behaviour, they will know you are paying attention and will increase their tantrum.

PERSISTENCE
IS THE KEY
Never feel sorry for not meeting the demands of your child. It is important to realize that it is about fulfilling your child's needs more than their wants. Trust us, your child will be thankful for this when they become matured.

EXPLAIN THE SITUATION
LATER
Once your child is back to normal and has cooled down; make them understand that having tantrums is not a good behaviour, especially for children. Get your child to listen to what you have to say. Do talk to them in a calm manner and treat them with love and affection.
