I. Introduction
For programmers, they often sit and type code, such as this:
The eyes are so tired that I cover my eyes with my hands and even drop eye drops. Yes, eye fatigue, and all kinds of eye drops~ toss the eyes! Let me briefly analyze it below, for our programmers or people who use computers heavily.
1.1 The pain point of programmers: the damage to the eyes caused by using the computer for a long time
In the information age, programmers are the cornerstone of many industries, but the stress and damage to the eyes caused by staring at the computer screen for a long time cannot be ignored. Prolonged use of computers can lead to problems such as vision loss, eye fatigue, and dryness , which seriously affect the work and quality of life of programmers.
1.2 The importance of eye protection
Eye protection is very important for programmers. A comfortable visual environment can effectively improve work efficiency and quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to choose a computer desktop light that can effectively protect the eyes. BenQ ScreenBar Halo is just such an eye protection device specially designed for frequent use of computers (including programmers and designers who work overtime for a long time). I have experienced it for a week, especially working overtime at night, and I am not as tired as before. The following is a real picture of my desk, the light is not dazzling and very soft. In addition, we can also observe that the display screen has no reflection phenomenon, and the light distribution is asymmetrical.
PS: As you can see from the picture, there were a lot of things piled up on the desktop at the time, but the lights did not take up space on the desktop, they just needed to be hung on the computer.
2. Eye protection function of BenQ ScreenBar Halo
2.1 Automatic dimming: adjust the brightness according to the ambient light
BenQ ScreenBar Halo is equipped with a light sensor, which can automatically adjust the brightness according to the ambient light, so that users are always in the most comfortable visual environment and reduce eye fatigue, which is really good. This makes me feel very smart, no need to manually adjust the brightness of the light.
The immersive lighting design of BenQ ScreenBar Halo can maintain clear vision after working for a long time, effectively reducing eye fatigue.
2.2 Asymmetric optical design: reduce reflection and glare
BenQ ScreenBar Halo adopts an asymmetric optical design, which makes the light distribution uniform, effectively reduces reflection and glare, and makes the eyes more comfortable. The design also ensures that light does not directly hit the screen, avoiding harsh reflections. (These feelings come from personal test experience)
2.3 Immersive lighting: illuminate the field of view and relieve visual fatigue
The immersive lighting design of BenQ ScreenBar Halo can illuminate the entire field of vision and effectively relieve eye fatigue during long hours of work. At the same time, the design helps to improve space utilization and provide more working space for programmers.
3. Programmer's daily work scene
1) Develop code: need to stare at the screen for a long time
In the process of writing code, programmers need to pay attention to the screen for a long time. Not only to think logically, but also to process a lot of information. Staring at the screen for a long time can cause eye fatigue, dryness, vision loss and other problems.
2) Debugging programs: reading codes and logs
When debugging a program, programmers need to view a large number of codes and logs. This not only requires the eyes to switch rapidly between different areas, but also requires long periods of concentration. This is also a great test for the eyes.
3) Video conference: Communicate with team members
When participating in a video conference, programmers need to stare at the screen for a long time to watch and communicate, which puts a heavy burden on the eyes. Under different light conditions, the brightness of the screen may not be suitable for the eyes, resulting in eye fatigue.
4. How to effectively protect the eyes of programmers
4.1 Appropriate lighting environment: avoid too bright or too dark
A proper lighting environment is essential for eye protection. An environment that is too bright can cause discomfort to the eyes, and an environment that is too dark can cause eye fatigue. BenQ ScreenBar Halo can automatically adjust the brightness to ensure the best lighting environment.
If the lights are not turned on, even if the lights are turned on in your own dormitory, it will be darker. You can see this obvious contrast:
4.2 Proper rest: follow the 20-20-20 principle
Programmers who use computers for long periods of time should follow the 20-20-20 principle, that is, every 20 minutes of work, take a 20-second break, and look 20 feet (about 6 meters) away. This helps reduce eye strain.
4.3 Adjust the distance between the screen and the eyes: avoid getting too close
Keeping an appropriate distance between the screen and the eyes can help reduce the burden on the eyes. A distance of 50-70 cm is usually recommended.
5. Programmer's personal experience and suggestions
5.1 Feeling after using BenQ ScreenBar Halo
After using BenQ ScreenBar Halo, many programmers (including me) found that eye fatigue has been significantly relieved and work efficiency has also improved.
Of course, in addition to being good for the eyes, there is also an engraving service, which is also very good as a gift.
In addition to automatically adjusting the brightness of the light, you can also manually click the remote control to adjust the front and rear light switches and even save your favorite light brightness. It is very good to be able to make the light so fashionable
5.2 Other practical advice on eye protection
In addition to using BenQ ScreenBar Halo, programmers can also take the following measures to protect their eyes: do eye exercises regularly, use eye protection filter software, maintain good eye habits, etc.
5.3 In summary
Whenever possible, keep yourself rested. Although a good hanging lamp can help relieve fatigue properly, you still need to take care of your body and don't overwork yourself!
