Well I just wanted to see how many of us have vision and what not eye problems due to spending long hours on the computer. I realize that as webmasters we sometimes tend to exhaust our eyes. Besides getting off the computer what other techniques do you use to cause less strain.
Eye strains? Yes, that is why you need eyedrops when the problem occurs, you can also try focusing on different objects every few minutes or so!
Definitely have eye strains. I also have eye allergies and always needed glasses since I was a kid. I didn't start wearing eye glasses until 6yrs ago so wearing them while on the computers doesn't hurt my eyes at all.
My close up vision is starting to show signs of failure but then I'm getting to the age where my vision might be expected to worsen - but it's always been 20-20 up until last year. I use a laptop at work and if I followed the UK HSE guidelines I should be stopping evry 15mins - but that's just not practical. Back at home, I'm on my PC, updating and SEOing my jewellery site and definately not following guidelines. So, I do think my failing sight is down to excessive screen usage and having admitted that through writing this, I think I shall now do something about it - more breaks!
For some reason i feel like there are weights on my eyes when i spend more than 2 hours on the comp. I'll definitely try the focusing thing. lol i even bought a pair of those pinhole glasses because they are supposed to improve vision.
My vision gets fuzzy and i get headaches after about 2 hours on the comp. i always just get up and get a glass of water and I'm fine but the focusing thing seems like a good idea!
Expecially when i see white (or just bright) letters on black background i cant look more then 2 minutes. Eyes really start to sore. And i noticed each time i need to get my face closer and closer to screen. One my friend, which having work with computers 20 + years, now he almost touching screen with his nose, when use PC. lol
My eyesight isn't affected by LCD screens, which I use almost all the time. CRTs bother my eyes though.
When I had a CRT monitor I'd get eye strain really bad after being at the pc for multiple hours. Since I've got my LCD life has been so much better.
yeah i started wearing glasses about the same time i started spending hrs and hrs on teh computer. Dunno if there is any relationship in the two.
lately i have seen some eye problems developing in my eyes! perhaps it is time to seriously lessen the ammount of my online activities! i try to keep some green plants arround my computer room, that helps in a big way. try to take a 10mins break every after one hour, that will give the eyes a much needed rest!
My eyesight has become poorer. I can't see far things clearly and is blurry. I will replace my crt moniter with a lcd hoping to make things better.
Well I have eye problem because of computers and I can't see away things clearly. I use now Glasses to prevent this.
i dont have glasses, but ever since i was young, my left eye has always been blurry, i always keep a light on in the room above the computer, and always take say a 15 minute break every 1-2 hours
