How to Read From a Graphic LCD

Many computer monitors feature LCD screens.

People who read frequently from LCD screens are at a higher risk for eyesight deterioration than those that do not. In order to prevent problems with your eyesight or to prevent further deterioration of your vision, you must take breaks while reading to allow your eyes to rest. This also helps to reduce eye fatigue.

Instructions

1. Read for 20 minutes.

2. Rest your eyes for at least 20 seconds.

3. Focus your eyes on an object in the distance. This will exercise your farsighted ability, keeping it strong.

4. Read for another 20 minutes. Rest your eyes and focus after every 20 minutes of reading.
