Maintain Vigilance During Gameplay: Avoid Prolonged Gaze
In today's digital world, spending long hours in front of a screen has become the norm. However, this extended screen time can lead to eye strain and fatigue. To help combat this issue, here are some general tips based on recommendations from authoritative sources like the Kuratorium Gutes Sehen (KGS).
Firstly, adhering to the 20-20-20 rule is crucial. Every 20 minutes, take a break and look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This simple action helps relax your eye muscles and reduces strain.
Secondly, adjusting the screen brightness and contrast to comfortable levels is essential. This adjustment can help reduce glare and make your screen easier on the eyes.
Thirdly, ensuring appropriate ambient lighting is vital to avoid excessive brightness or reflections on the screen. Adequate light in the room can prevent eye strain, while a lack of light can strain the eyes and cause fatigue.
Maintaining proper screen distance and position is another important factor. The screen should ideally be about an arm’s length away with the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level.
Using anti-reflective screen filters can also be beneficial, especially in environments with a lot of ambient light. Blinking regularly is also important to prevent dry eyes, and taking frequent breaks from screen work can help rest your eyes.
It's worth noting that strong contrast between dark surroundings and a bright screen can be harmful to the eyes. During the day, natural light from the side is ideal.
For exact KGS-specific advice, consulting their official publications or website would be necessary as general search results did not provide this information. However, the KGS emphasises the importance of good contrast between dark surroundings and a bright screen, and the benefits of natural light during the day.
