I try the 20/20/20 thing - every 20 mins, spends 20 seconds looking at something 20ft+ away.
I wear sun glasses outside when it is even moderate bright.
I take lutein, "the eye vitamin."
I keep pretty far from my monitor and its elevation keeps my head in a neutral position.
I also have semi-regular exams at a retina specialist to monitor some thinning.
- rubyskills 5y agoI'm not sure the sunglasses approach makes sense, unless you live near the equator. For me, I try to get as much sun light exposure into my eyes during the day (especially in the morning), to help set my circadian clock. I will sometimes use sunglasses at night towards bedtime.

- mbrudd 5y agoDo you recommend a particular lutein supplement, or do you just rely on lutein in foods (e.g., leafy greens, fruit)? In your experience, what have been the benefits of lutein?

- Oaknice 5y agoI take Macushield (UK brand) and it got lutein (10 mg), zeaxanthin (2 mg) and meso-zeaxanthin (10 mg). It was shown on a BBC program to help. I tried it and it changed things drastically for me. I used to have my TV very close to my couch because I was struggling when watching movies or gaming. It also made my sight better at night. Obviously this is my personal opinion only.
