When you stare, your blink rate can go down to two or three times per minute. It also helps to change your focus frequently. Look at something across the room for a few moments and then go back to looking at the computer screen. Use artificial tears if your eyes feel dry and irritated. Don't use products that remove the red from your eyes because these products may contain a chemical that takes out the red but actually make your eyes look worse later.
Most eyes are basically round like a baseball.
When a teen has myopia, she is unable to focus properly on things that are far away because her eyes are too long. Glasses or contacts can correct this problem. Once they are 18 years old and their eyes are full-sized and no longer changing, some teens have refractive surgery to correct this condition so they don't have to wear contacts or glasses anymore. Refractive surgery is a procedure, usually done with a laser, which reshapes the human eye to change the way light enters it and forms an image, allowing a person to see better. People with hyperopia can see things far away, but have trouble focusing on things close up because their eyes are too short.
