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.

Keep your eyes away from a bright light for a long time. For instance, on a bright day, don't stay outside too long if you keep looking at the sun.

Lastly, if you involving yourself in an activity where an eye accident may occur, wear goggles. Such activities include science experiments when using chemicals and certain sports (such as racquetball).
