• Make your working environment comfortable
• Wear sunglasses
• Use proper lighting when working
• Take a break and exercise
• Visit an eye-care practitioner regularly
• Take your contacts out at the end of the day
• Remove your eye make-up at the end of the day
• Get plenty of sleep
The eye test will include taking a picture of the back of your eye to help monitor the health of your eye overtime.
