Computers put a tremendous amount of strain on your eye muscles, yet it is impossible to avoid using computers. We have become so dependent on computers at work and home for e-mail, internet access, word processing, number crunching, and graphic design.
As computer usage has increased, so have related vision problems. One reason is because your eyes need to work harder to focus on the computer screen for a prolonged period. Computers are more visually demanding than printed material because the image on a monitor is not stable like printed text in a book. It is composed of pixels of light that are continually being refreshed. Therefore, your eye muscles must constantly adjust to keep the flickering screen in focus. Because of this intense focusing demand, even low amounts of uncorrected astigmatism or farsightedness make your eye muscles work harder. Studies have shown that prescription glasses, designed specifically for computer use, will decrease eyestrain and physical fatigue, and improve productivity.
Muscles that control eye movement and eye coordination, also get a workout at the computer as you scan the screen or surf the web for hours. Inefficient eye tracking can make it difficult for you to analyze spreadsheets and keep your eyes on the lines of text. Poor eye coordination can slow you down while reading the screen. Eyes that tend to drift apart create symptoms such as eyestrain, intermittent double images and headaches.
Another cause of computer-related eyestrain is dry eyes. We tend to blink less frequently while concentrating which diminishes eye lubrication. Dry eye symptoms include burning, itching, intermittent blur, or a "heavy eyes" sensation. This can usually be improved by using artificial tears, a humidifier , or nutritional supplements to increase tear production.
If you or your employees spend an hour or more each day using a computer, having the fastest computer and latest hardware is not enough. An up-to-date computer prescription, and correctly balanced eye muscles, are necessary to optimize your comfort and productivity.
I got the same problem, hope anyone has an answer to this.
well at work take a min or to just to look away from the screen many people get this from computers and no pill is gonna fix that, or may I suggest getting high lol that got me through computer class when I was in school lol, no but you could also try to turn the brightness down or maybe these things just arre not for you for a career, and eat more carrots there good for your eyes I ate them and I never had a issue all my life
yes by using some kind of coated glasses or take breaks its the computer AR coating is called or u may look for one of those old computer screens to deflect some of he glare
You should be taking a break of 10 minutes from your computer every hour. Go and get a drink, stretch your legs or simply turn away from the computer as often as possible. I have to say that often I get a "wooly" head after a day at work, my kneck aches and I absolutely HATE the air con and stale air in my office. Whenever I am off for a day or two, I am still energetic at 11 oclock at night - no headache, no aches and pains. Offices are not a healthy place to spend your days but needs must. Ensure you drink plenty of water. The lights make me feel particularly bad - kind of spacy sometimes.
What I was advised is to look (focus) at varying distances while sitting at the PC.
Instead of GLARING at the monitor, take "eye-exercises" during the day; glance at the doorway or outside for 20 second-spans.
Every so often (10 or 15 minutes or so) take an Eye-break.
i went to the eye doc and got glasses just for this.
If you use a computer screen more than 4 hours a day your company should pay for yearly eye exams and some contribute to costs of any necessary eye wear. Check with your HR dept. Take a5 min break and look away fro the screen every hour this should help.
