Staring is the most commonly practiced bad habit. Any kind of “fixed focus” use of your eyes – when your eyes are focused at one distance for a prolonged time – is extremely stressful. Using a computer, reading a book or driving a car are some examples of “fixed focus” work.
To reduce the stress of “fixed focus” work, keep your eyes moving and change your focus regularly.

When at the computer or reading a book, shift your focus from up close to across the room and back again at least once every 2 – 3 minutes (and more often if you remember.) Whether walking down the street, watching TV or engaged in conversation, you can always keep your eyes moving and change your focus regularly.
The eyes are in constant motion, scanning the environment so often and moving so rapidly that they send 60 – 70 images to the mind every second! This steady, subtle movement is essential for clear vision; staring and freezing your eye movements interferes with the normal functioning of the visual system.
Of course, you can’t consciously move your eyes that fast, but you can unlock tension in your visual system by remembering to change your focus frequently. This encourages your eyes to become more relaxed.
