Eye strain? Do you have the problem?

    How many of you guys sit at the computer for long hours every day? Are you suffering from eye strain?

    I sit at the computer for perhaps 10 hours a day and whatever I do I still feel unconfortable at my eyes. I have cleartype enabled and use a LCD monitor.

    What do you suggest I should do? Is there any cover or something I put on the screen to solve this?

    Wear sunglasses :cool:. Seriously though, take more breaks, drink plenty of water and eat foods that are good for your eyes (carrots?).

    just get your eyes enough rest, give some interval time during working with computer and rest. Normally, after 45 minutes looking at monitor screen i'll set myself to walk to kitchen to have a drink or doing somethings else for 5 minutes. This help my eyes get enough rest by doing somethings more lightly than stress it on monitor.

    yep rest your eyes 10min for every 1.45hours at least.

    if it continues you´d better see your doctor.

    Eat carrots. Every hour take a 5 minute break by doing something else.

    turn the brightness down more if its happening at night or in day turn it up.

    i recommend consulting a doc though.

    Just give your eyes a little bread every once in a while.

    It hurts my eyes more when the screen contrasts from the background, so when it's night make sure you have a light on. Also, take breaks every now and then.

    Do you wear glasses?
    If you don't get your eyes checked out ;)
    If that isn't the problem just take regular breaks from the computer

    Thanks :)

    Without computers its hard to survive nowadays. I work 8 hrs in office and at home sit in front of pc for some 3 to 4 hrs everyday. so almost 12 hrs I spend in front of pc. I use a simple technique which is whenever you are in front of pc, look something else, something green or blue every 30 minutes. It has become a habit that I never look at the monitor for long time. But yes, when I have to concentrate on work I have to look at the monitor for long time.

    I spend 9-10 hours in front of the pc, luckily I didn't have that problem. You should take a break if your eyes is hurt. Look at something else other than your monitor.
