    My eyes are getting weaker by the day. Gazing at the computer screen all day long sure does affect your eye sight. I went from perfect eye sight a yr ago to a -1. Now I have to wear glasses and it still seems that its getting weaker. Does anyone else has the same experience?

    Yup. That's why you should always take a break every hour and do something else for a couple minutes to rest your eyes.

    No matter how much money I might make. No amount of money can really be worth my eyes. Man..... And yeh you are right. When you are sitting in front of the computer you just dont realize whats really going on untill you realize that its been several hours.

    Been staring at a screen for several years and just found out I need glasses 'cause my right eye is so bad that my left eye has been straining to make up for it and fatiguing my brain. Also found a small hole in my left retina (wonder if that's from the light). At least we know fluorescent light from lcd's have a really short wavelength, but I don't know about crt's. Still, if you get too close, just remember that tanning booths use fluorescent lights too.

    I think a lot of other factors ad to eye strain at the computer though (like everyone else has mentioned already).

    My eyes were already bad. A lot of Tv can be just as bad, depending on how big it is and how closely you watch it.

    Yea, but I've been wearing glasses since I was 2 so it's something that I'm used to. Get yourself a bottle of eye drops if you haven't already and use it whenever your eyes are bothering you.

    How old are you? When you're a certain age, eye sight wont decrease much

    I got glasses about 2 years ago. Not sure if it's genetic, or caused by too much nerding around. Either way, that's the way it is - no use worrying about it. Only bad thing is that these days I struggle to see my RC planes at crazy altitudes. I need a new prescription.

    I like wearing glasses, it makes me look trustworthy and respectable :p

    Sitting in front of the computer practically the whole day for the last 10 years of my life has afftected not just my eyesight but I think I have developed a migrane out of it! My head aches more frequently now more than ever. Not to mention the dryness of my eyes that has been regularly happening these days. Geez! :eek:
