Prevent Headaches While Reading 2

If you find it difficult to read, get your eyes tested by an oculist. If you find
yourself squinting or your eyes watering while you read or do any fine work,
then you might need glasses. So do not waste time, consult a doctor at the
earliest time possible. Faulty vision is a major cause of headaches.
Be careful of the print size of the book you are reading. If the print of the
book is too faint, or if the font size is too small, just toss away the book.
Most libraries have large-print versions of books. If this is not available, use
a magnifying glass or wear magnifying glasses.
Do not read in moving vehicles. Many people try to read while traveling by
car to kill time. However, curves and bumps in the road can cause
headaches and even motion sickness.
No matter how smooth the road is and no matter how good the shock
absorbers of the car are, there is bound to be jerking motions. This will force
your eyes to adjust and readjust to the print and this continuous adjustment
and readjustment is very bad for your eyes. At the end of the journey you are
bound to end up with a headache.
The light from your T.V or P.C monitor is not enough to read. Some people
tend to read in the light that comes from a turned on television set or a
computer. This light is not enough for your eyes to pick out what is printed,
and should be combined with lamplight or overhead light.
