The Four 20s
Was on Emergency Leave, MC... take your pick, today.
THE LENSES... THEY DO NOTHING.
Put on the right side of my contact lens and they was a very sharp pain. Took it out and part of it felt like it's still in my eye.
Went to see our eye specialist doctor. He said I haven't had a check up since 2002. Didn't realise it was that long ago.
"OPTIC BLAST!.... OPTIC BLAST!"
Other than checking for foreign objects, he did a power check as well. Still no x-ray vision or eye beams. Damn it.
So nothing was/is in my eye and it seems to be fine. Just a bit dry. Told doc the past few days it had been red a bit and he said it could most probably be because of the haze.
4x20
And since I've been working (or not) in front of the computer most of the time, he introduced me the very important Four 20s:
1) Rest after 20 minutes of looking at the screen.
2) Rest for 20 seconds.
3) Don't look at the screen, look at far away, preferably objects that are 20 feet away.
4) Blink 20 times.
Also, don't let the air-cond and let it blow directly to the face. Eyes gets dry fast that way.
Oh and having 7 hours of sleep is very important. As when we sleeps, the tear glands would fill up and moisturises the eye. Dad thanked him for that advised but added whether I would listen or not is another different matter.
Explained to doc that I can't sleep too early as I would wake up in the middle of the night. It would then takes me a while to sleep back. And because of the interrupted sleep, I would feel worst the next day.
He suggested me to jog in the evening, then perhaps I would be tired and sleep better. But if I'm tired, wouldn't I sleep earlier and the result would be the same.
So, we'll see how.
