I'm wondering how much time should i spend on computer to avoid eye fatigue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eye fatigue: You can lessen eye fatigue with computer use by making sure you have the proper glasses for this task and by taking frequent breaks. I recommend closing your eyes or looking into the distance for 30 seconds every 20-30 minutes. Some people find that use of artificial tears helps as well.
