Eye soreness whenever i look at a screen?!
Question: Eye soreness whenever i look at a screen?
Recently (as in the past few days), i start getting eye soreness whenever i look at screens (TVs, Computers, Projectors, Handheld Games, etc). I try to look at them less, but I need to use computers for school. Is there anything I can potentially do?
Answers:
Eye strain is a problem with screens. You can reduce your risk by getting the lighting right and sitting as far away from then as possible. Sit with any light source at 90 degrees ( don't sit facing a window if you can help it). Keep computer screens at arms length. Try taking your eyes away from the screen every 15 minutes, just look up and focus on somethign far away. Make sure you drink enough water - your eyes dry in front of screens and it doesn't help if you get dehydrated.
When you arent' using the screens try and go outside and use your distance vision, play sports/go for a walk or something. That gives your eyes a break.

hippo is right. also lower the brightness on the screen and change backgrounds to grey, not white. I had to stare at my screen all day at my office and the best screen filters did nothing. some kid offered teh above advice and worked like a charm. But again, follow what Hippo said. stare away from teh screen every 15 mts for abreak.
My sister has the same problem too. U just need to c the doctor maybe get a pair of glasses and stop looking at the screen closely
