If you have to work on your computer all day, do your eyes and head become painf!


Question:

If you have to work on your computer all day, do your eyes and head become painful/uncomfortable sometimes?

I think I need a vacation. It hurts to read things on and off the computer. I recently had an eye exam. My eye doctor is off work today. I just took some medicine and increased my font size. Thanks for any serious suggestions...


Answers:

When you stare are something, mainly a computer or a book, your eye muscles lock up and have tension from stress. This will more than likely cause your eyes to hurt. This, also, is one of the biggest reasons of bad vision; It causes you to see blur. People with good eyesight have relaxed eye muscles. Doing some palming will relax your eyes. Simply rub your hands together fast for about 15 seconds so they are hot then cover your eyes so no light comes in and visualize seeing black. You want the bottom of your hands to be on your cheekbones and your hands cupped and not touching your eyes. This is the best relaxation technique out there for your eyes and actually should improve your vision. Doing this after working on the computer should help. You should be in a quiet place so you can relax. Maybe in a nice hot bath.
Make sure you have enough light when on the computer (or there will be more eyestrain!) and use rewetting drops every 30 minutes or so to refresh your eyes. Also look away from the screen every 20 minutes or so and move your eyes around. You may have Computer Vision Syndrome. Hope this helps.
