    General games How to Protect Your Eyes While Gaming

    Techzone have posted some tips to keep your eyes in good shape whilst gaming:

    1. Sit facing the screen directly; ensure that the screen is not at an angle. This will stimulate both eyes equally.

    2. Once every 15-30 minutes it is important that gamers look away from the screen and shift eye focus to objects at a distance. It could be trees or the sky or children playing. Change the eye focus to distant objects.

    3. Sit at a reasonable distance from the screen. If the game is played on a television screen then sit at least 6 feet away. When playing on a computer the screen ideally should be 20-26 inches from your eyes.

    4. Use the settings on the screen to reduce the glare to a comfortable level. Install an anti-glare filter.

    5. Once in a while it is important to look away from the screen and blink your eyes to lubricate it.

    6. Ask your eye doctor to prescribe artificial tears that will moisten your eyes.

    7. At least 6-8 times a day, rub the palms of your hands together and press then on your eyes and hold for a few minutes. The warmth of your palms will relax the eye muscles.

    8. Greenery soothes eyes, so glance as often as you can at green trees, bushes, or plants.

    9. Do simple eye strengthening exercises as taught by yoga and other systems of healing. The exercises are easy and can be done at anytime. Rolling your eyes, focusing on your nose and then the area between your eyebrows, shifting the eye ball from left to right are all easy exercises.

    10. Get a qualified eye doctor to check your vision and find out whether you need “computer glasses.” If you use contact lenses it is best you take them off whilst gaming and use glasses instead.

    I'd just like to say that I follow each and everyone of these guidlines to the "i" and I still manage to get 5 min of game time for every 50 I spend managing the needs of my eyes. Amazing huh...

    Well, regardless of how I play my video games and the condition of my vision, I know one thing is sure. I can't take my eyes with me when I die. Game on.

    My ladbrokes mouse mat says all that (pretty much), but the artical failed to mention the whole process should include your arm's and hand's as well (they take more punishment, and is 100% irriversible).
