To prevent eyestrain,the patient should rest the eye muscles periodically when working at the computer or performing any activity that demands intensive visual effort.Resting the eye muscles every several hours helps prevent eye fatigue.Protective goggles do not help prevent eyestrain.Nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin are found in carrots and cooked spinach and are good for the eyes but do not reduce eyestrain.Overuse of artificial tears is not recommended,and proper usage works to combat dry eyes.
