Anyone have bad eyes from staring at the computer hours at a time??
 

I sit in front of the computer for 10-12 hours at a time sometimes and my eyes get fucking burned and red... I just recently started wearing sunglasses do reduce the glare but fuck! I look like shit after a few days of solid work.

Right fucking now - my eyes are killing me! :Oh crap

yep i need a new pair of glasses, just got a new prescription

Well that will happen when you are going to sleep at 5:39 and it's 7:11 get some rest man:) I'm closing in on 30 hours up myself so I know how it is:)

Right you are - 'night! :sleep

Nope, but i'v used only LCD monitors since they first came out and i dropped 1600 for a 17" many years ago, i still have it too! :)

Switch to LCD... I was using 2 19inch CRT's and swapped them out for 2 19"s and 1 20" and it is fucking awesome.

i fully need glasses i think, im blind now. monitor gives me headaches for sure.

I use LCD but I have trouble focusing on distant objects lately.

I use LCD too, it's a big differance :thumbsup

yeah, I wish they had lcd's back in 94... it could have saved me a lot of my eye sight.

Yes.. My eyes start to burn after a few hours on the pc.. :(

this thread returns every week or so lol... go with a DVI tft, 2hrs work 15 mins rest, no eyedrops no other shit, itll last for every and the burned eyes feeling will be gone :)

I installed this program:

i also have a glass filter on the monitor :thumbsup

my contacts bother me after 8 or so hours

No, I have a great view behind my monitor. It is recommended you regularly do eye exercises. ie. After looking at your monitor(or anything up close) you should look far away and focus your eyes on something really small in the distance. ie. pot plant on a building 100meters away

60 minutes of working on the computer
5 minutes of getting up and doing other shit
(walking around and thinking,getting a snack,looking outside,picking up the mail,making a call while looking at a distance etc.)

nice! :thumbsup

i was just thinking of getting into yoga :winkwink:

I recommend using an 85 Hz or higher resolution if you can on your monitor/video card. Which I'm sure most of you can. It is definitely easier on your eyes.

50/60 Hz on a CRT hurts. Go as high as you can. 75 Hz... or invest in an LCD, I thank myself everyday now that I dont have to deal with the pain of looking at the PC.

I think it depends on quality of monitor, and what you have your refresh rate set at. I know for me personally, if I crank up the refresh rate, my eyes will go nuts. So I generally keep it at 65-70.

:Oh crap

1. get a good CRT monitor and run it at 85mhz. LCD's are even nicer again on your eyes if you can afford one. You might be running your current monitor at 60mhz which would cause A LOT of eye strain, you can put this upto 75-85 for good results this along will reduce strain a lot.

2. get outside a few times a day and take breaks. Your body locking up is not going to help your work in the future.

3. eyedrops to help lub your eyes, you only blink 3-5 times a minute when using computer, 7-10 times a minute when your reading and like 25-30 normally.
