My eyes have started to get sore when I'm on the computer.?!


Question: My eyes have started to get sore when I'm on the computer!.!?
I've been computing for years, and it's never bothered me before, plus I wear glasses when I'm on it!. I have a CRT monitor, could this be the cause!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A few suggestions:
Get your latest glasses prescription filled!. If you are over 40, you may need an adjustment in them for the computer working distance!.
When working, take a 3 minute break each hour where you use your eyes to look at things farther than 10 feet away!.
Some people don't blink enough, so they find over the counter tear drops helpful!.
Consider using larger font sizes or a bigger resolution on your CRT monitor!. Adjust the brightness and contrast to comfortable levels!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if i were you i would try not sitting as close to the monitor!.
or maybe you are just tired!. that could be the cause!.

i have read before that computer RIGHT before bed is not very good for your eyes!. so if you do this maybe you could test a few days of not doing it to see if its the problem!.
if you have glasses then chances are you have a Optometrist!.!.!. talk to them about these problems, i wouldn't necissarily start off with "i think its because of my computer" i would start by saying that my eyes hurt!. and then explain a number of things that you think could be the cause!. for all you know it could be that you need different glasses!!

GOOD LUCK!Www@Answer-Health@Com
