Hello friends,

When i use the computer for a long time, my eyes get irritated.
What is the solution for this?

Because if i go to a job, i would have to sit more hours than actually i do now.

Do you feel this irritation also?

Will it cause some eye problems like myopia etc?
I see a lot of software professionals wearing glasses.

For the time being, i have bought something called antiglare screen(but i dont know whether it is efficient or not).

Thank You,
Paramesh.

Sounds like you'd better find a new line of work. Baking cookies is fun.

Yes, many of us wear glasses. I got mine 10 years before I ever touched a computer, though...

I don't really have a solution for you. I'd check with an ophthalmologist and see what he has to say. It may be something simple. Like take a break every hour or so. Or close the windows so the smog doesn't get in.

Sounds like you have experience in baking cookies.

Most people just recommend taking a break every few hours (which is also good to help keep your butt from exanding ) or just make sure you vary the distance your eyes are looking. Looking at a fixed distance for long periods can ruin your vision because your eye muscles essentially atrophy from lack of use; that's why you see pictures of watch makers squinting all the time. By simply looking away from the monitor out a window for a few minutes every hour can help you out.

I also remember reading in Discover magazine several years ago that you can go to an eye doctor and get fitted with special "computer" glasses. I think the glasses reduced the glare you normally received from the screen (which you've already done) and somehow reduce the strain your eyes take from looking at a screen for long hours.

I think you've already got a good idea w/ the anti-glare screen. All you need to do is just take a break every so often; not only will your eyes benefit, but you can burn a few calories by walking around and reduce the chance of getting carpal tunnel syndrome.

Yep I agree sitting in front of a computer all day will cause you butt to expand it has mine. but I do believe that the anti glare screen will help at least I have heard that it has help others.

Too much information, too much information!

yup, I've heard of that one too and try to do it every now and then, it does help a bit, I think
