I've been getting headaches when I'm on the computer, so I decided to go to Wal-Mart and get my eyes checked. Turns out I don't even need glasses for the computer because I'm far-sighted. Shit balls, I've been wearing my glasses on the comp for about 3 years now. Anyhoo, they said to just look away every half hour or so. Staring at the monitor for extended periods of time causes my headaches.

I also had my eyes dilated to test for any abnormalities. Now I have to go to another doctor to test for glaucoma. I didn't know, but it turns out my mom had an operation about a year ago to relieve the stress behind her eyes because she was starting to show signs of glaucoma. Right now my eyes are still sensitive to light, so I'm rocking the Ray Charles look till they settle down. I hope I don't have to get my eyes laser beamed

 

yeah i read some where that if you are on teh comp to long everyday u are like 85% more likley to get glaucoma..... h:

 

I'm on the comp too long every day.

Without the shades on I can see the screen refresh

 

set the refresh rate higher, that used to give me major headaches on my CRT

 

to stop them i set it to 85+ at least

 

why not get an LCD dom?

 

I should get an LCD actually. But I'm either gonna spend my bday money on a new guitar or a DV camera

 

LCD's are easier on the eyes and dont' cause it to strain as much...i'm just looking out for you dom :hugglez:

 

glaucoma = :bandito:

 

What's the lighting like where you're on the computer most?
