Blinking: When you’re working on a computer or focusing on something for a long period of time, you tend to blink less often. This can dry out your eyes and make them feel strained. Make a conscious effort to blink more often, or try the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Focusing: Switch your focus between something close and something far away. For example, you could focus on your finger that’s held a few inches in front of your face, and then slowly move your finger away until you’re focusing on something across the room. Repeat this 10 times.
