When you watch television or use a computer, use it in a well-lit room. This keeps your eyes from straining to see in a dark area.

When you read, make sure a light is shining onto what you are reading as opposed to into your eyes.

When you watch T.V., do not sit close to the set. This can put extra strain on your eyes to see.

If you watch T.V., use a computer, or read for a long time, be sure to take a break at least every hour or so for a few minutes to rest your eyes.

Do not rub your eyes a lot. If your eye does itch, many times it will go away when you don't rub them. Rubbing your eyes usually just makes it worse.
