What kind of tips and tricks can you share about keeping the eyes healthy and perception accurate? I am working on an italic and the monitor appears skewed, so I thought there may be good reason to keep a dummy oblique version so I normalize my sight. I sometimes feel the last letters in the set should be more slanted, even if I know there's no reason to.
My father told me to do some gymnastics every 2-3 hours or so and once every hour stare off into the distance and back to the keyboard several times, but I get so carried away designing that I forget to do this.

Also, I saw an eye doctor a little while back because I was having a weird episode that cleared itself but, he recommend looking away from the screen every once in a while and to take a 10 minute break every hour or two.
This is important in our work when designing W, which could be a surprisingly difficult letter with many factors in the equation.
More importantly, there's no real reason to want to block blue light. It is true that the part of our brain that determines the sleep/wake rhythm is particularly sensitive to blue light, but the amount of this kind (it's not really blue but more blueish white) of light from a screen does not compare to the amount in sunlight. So basically, it doesn't matter.
