Eye School for screen work
Wellness for your eyes
The digital revolution means that many of us now spend hours of end in front of screens, be they on a PC, TV, smartphone or laptop, causing permanent strain on our eyes. This can have wide-ranging consequences, from headaches and neck pain through to difficulty concentrating, general tiredness and dry eyes. With the help of eye relaxation exercises, this seminar will show you how to relieve the strain on your eyes in your daily (working) life. It contains a great many practical and specific exercises to relax your eye muscles and tips on preventing pain and medical conditions.
Spending hours working in front of a screen places major demands on our eyes every single day, so why not do yourself and your eyes some good and come along to the seminar?

Please be aware of the following:
- Use discrimination-sensitive language and respect other people’s self-identifiers (e.g. pronouns).
- Certain topics can trigger emotional overwhelm, so you should be mindful of your own boundaries as well as other people’s.
- If discriminatory experiences are addressed, you should take them seriously and acknowledge them for what they are.
- You can take a break or a step back at any time. If you need to leave the event room and require a space to withdraw to, you are welcome to speak to someone in our office, the event team or the trainer.
