Close your eyes, rub your palms together and cover the eyes with hollow of your palms for a minute or two.<\/li>\n<li>Using an antiglare screen is a must. The blue light emitted by smartphones is supposed to be damaging to the eyes and can lead to insomnia. Blue light filter Apps are devised to automatically reduce the harmful blue light reaching the eye.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the illumination of your screen to the minimum required level.<\/li>\n<li>Work in a well-lit room. Make sure that no light from behind you (from a bulb, tubelight or an open window) is being reflected from your smartphone or computer screen on to your eyes.<\/li>\n<li>You must have an annual eye check up for eyesight correction.
