Do you get eye strains?

Since many of us are on our computers for hours doing work (or you should be ) do any of you experience eye strains also (your eye muscles are strained, they feel tried out and are very aggrevating).

I don't know what happened but I've been having them recently and I haven't even increased the amount of time I've been on the computer...

Any tips to decrease it? I've read about using eyedrops (works temporarily only), taking breaks every few minutes to focus on other objects and blinking simultaneously.

 

I just take a break. There's really not a whole lot more you can do.

 

Haha, I have one now. I usually just ignore it, haha. Hmm, maybe thats why my eyes are so bad..

 

I where glasses so ..... this says it all

 

Get a new monitor??? I had a 17" BenQ which to be honest was quite crap gave me alot of bother even for sitting at it for an hour so I got a new 19" LG and it hasn't given me any bother since.

 

Get an LCD if you don't already have one

 

I'm pretty sure my laptop has an LCD screen this doesn't occur everyday so it's fine, eye drops are working for me at the moment..

 

ya LCD can do very Good for eyes.

 

my eyes hurt when I look at a computer monitor for an hour straight, I rest my eyes for 15 minutes then resume using the pc

 

Yes I do. Taking breaks helps but I always forget. Having a LCD like I do now is a big help too.

 

maybe u can turn on ClearType in Microsoft Windows XP ; increase your Monitor Refresh Rate & Don't stare at your screen all day....

 

Just take some break after a few hours. Anything that is too much is bad for you.

I got a black screen in front of my Monitor which prevents my eyes from being strained
I think this the cheapest and fastest way of preventing these things

 

So the black screen makes the monitor darker? If I set my monitor's brightness to a darker one it will help prevent eye strains?

 

Yes it happens alot when I am working in the dark.

 

Well as a contact lens wearer i use to get strains...but now its been solved..thanxs to blink (eyedropper) esp.for contact lens wearer anyone can use it.....dont know if its available at your place

 

Happens to me all the time

 

For contacts wearers? What type is that? I just have eye drops that are like artifical tear drops.

It is really annoying when I have to work many hours straight to finish work

 

Put a clear screen in front of your monitor, like they do at some libraries. It helps quite a bit.

I also look outside every half hour or so to prevent eye strain.

 

No it doesn't make the Monitor Darker you can set the brightness as default and use the Black screen
