@Melinda
It’s good to hear that your eye doctor and mine are recommending the same exercises. I’m sorry to hear about you being on the glaucoma borderline. I hope you will try the yoga eye exercises in my latest post too because I find them to be quite effective.
Best wishes for happy blogging.

I’m glad you think the exercises are worthwhile. As you are young and as your are online a lot this is a good time to start preserving and protecting your eyesight.
Happy blogging

@Robin
I can certainly relate to what your are sharing. I multitask from work and I’m online for hours every day. Lowering my monitor to just below eye level was helpful so I recommend that you do that. The exercises are helpful too and it doesn’t take long before you find yourself doing them automatically. I particularly like the yoga eye exercises that are in my latest post. I take a break from my computer and do a yoga routine every day. Once I have completed it I do the exercises. During the day I remember to do them from time to time as well.
Best wishes for better blogging.

Thank you timethief–these are all very good tips. I am very cautious of my eyesight since I am on the border of having glaucoma. Some of your recommendations were ones that my (wonderful) eye doctor gave me.

Take care,

Melinda

This is a GREAT article. I need this so badly right now that I printed it so I can keep checking that I am doing this stuff (and to share with my sweetheart as he is at the computer a lot too). I’ve been at the computer 12 – 14 hours a day due to work and my vision has gone down hill in the last month really badly. BUT if I spend a day away from the computer my eyes go back to normal. It’s horrible as They get dry even though I use homepathic drops and they burn and blur until I can see the screen without reading glasses.

I was just going to do some research on this and then I found this on my Stumble bar so I will thumbs up it.

Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much.
Thinking of you and find it heartwarming seeing you about on BC and Stumble.
Hugs to you my good friend, :)
