You should also be looking at it from a slightly downward angle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use artificial tears<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Artificial tears are drops that lubricate your eyes to provide relief from temporary causes of dry eye such as staring at a screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Blink more \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On average, humans blink their eyes about 15 times per minute. But when looking at a digital device or doing other close-up work like reading, the number of times a person blinks can drop to just seven or eight times per minute.
