Take breaks
Take frequent breaks and help your eyes stay healthy. Stand up, stretch but make sure you look away from the computer, perhaps to a distant object so your eyes feel relaxed.

Enlarge text
Your eyes go through a lot of stress reading small texts. So if you’re going through documents or even writing, make sure the font is large enough for you to read without any strain on the eyes. Remember that the text should be such that it makes it easy to read/ write while you’re sitting straight or rather, when you’ve leaned back in your chair.
