Avant reading glasses are indeed avant-garde.

It used to be that once you hit 40, the inevitable came: reading glasses.  However with the technological advances, more and more folks are having to don reading glasses, well before the age of 40.  In fact, there are more than 50 million knowledge workers, or workers who sit in front of a computer and deal with information.  The result is increased eye strain. So, here are a few tips for reducing eye strain.

Tips to reduce eye strain

  • Make sure you take breaks from staring at your computer screen.  You can even intentionally focus on something farther away than your screen.
  • Take eye blink breaks.  This may sound silly, but stop what you’re doing and blink your eyes to regain moisture and better focus.
  • Switch tasks.  If possible, alternate between computer work and other tasks.
  • Try reading glasses.  There are some crazy-cool designer  reading glasses out there, like Avant and Studied, that will keep you reading well and in style.

By being intentional with breaks for your eyes- and not just for coffee- and trying some reading glasses, you can protect your eyes from eye strain and the headaches it brings.
