The Guide
Hello, my friend, If you've opened this article, then your eyesight is bothering you after all, and I'm going to help with that.

First of all, wipe down your monitor regularly. Of course, there may be dust in the corner that looks like a really nice pattern, but it's going to make you wear glasses if you stare at it for weeks.

Secondly, never sit in the dark, for doing so strains your eyes twice as much.

Thirdly, the monitor should not be facing a window. It seems obvious, but let me explain: The light falls on the monitor, darkening it.

Fourthly, take breaks after every match: stand up, blink, stretch, look out of the window. Maybe it's muddy and damp outside. Well... then take a look at the sky. It'll take your breath away and give you energy for the next game.

And, yes, if you sit for more than 5 hours, take a break of an hour. (Not to YouTube, but just.)

And last but not the least: do not sit in close proximity to the monitor. It is of course, cool to sit that way, but it is better for your health to be more comfortable and let your back have a rest. Otherwise you will be hunched and squinted like an old grandfather

Also keep the distance from the monitor at arm's length!
