I work for long hours with the computers and I wear power glass. I'm afraid of straining my eyes hard.?

Screen savers help but i WOULD RECOMMEND antireflective coated lenses. Also get up and get away from the monster for breaks.  Better light  works the best.

Technically, yes.  The trouble is that you have to adapt a lot more to hard contacts.  If you take a break from them, you will have to re-adapt (meaning that they'll be uncomfortable).

Check your eye doctor. If it's only stress in the eye, give it a rest and presume your work after a nice break. Graphic designers get a break too. ;O

I had my eye doctor tell me once that being on the computer for long periods of time, daily, can cause you to be dizzy.  \n\nI experienced this when doing research online for long periods of time (for one of my masters courses) and was very dizzy. \n\n Your eyes strain very easily and this causes you to feel dizzy. If you need to be on the computer for long periods of time for work or school, then get a well lit lamp and shine it on the monitor.  \n\nApparently the more well lit the screen is, the less strain your eyes feel.  Also, if you are just online for "fun" then try to limit your time to an hour.  \n\nIf neither of these suggestions work, then either get glasses to help your eyes or learn to live with being dizzy.. hope this helps!  \n\nI chose to stay away from the computer and got glasses for the times I hadto be  on the comouter

It sounds like you may need glasses.  Make an appointment with your eye doctor and he/she will be able to tell you exactly what you need.

Since 1977 I have professionally used computers. My vision is 20/20. I do not have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I do not have back problems, either. I do however have a neck problem that is caused by a disease not related to computer usage and is aggravated by the usage.\n\nI believe if you practice good work habits like:\n   1) Sitting straight with arms parallel to upper legs. Feet flat on the floor.\n   2) Not reaching out to use mouse and keyboard.\n   3) Having proper ambient lighting.\n   4) Taking regular breaks--walk and stretch.\n   5) Ensuring monitor is near head level (so that your head doesn't tilt down or up more too much).\n\nSome people believe that monitors radiate electromagnetic emissions... The old CRT types did. I doubt the flat panels do.  If somebody checked I believe they'd find that computers give off much more than most monitors. Like I've said, I started in 1977 and have no eye problems. Not even skin problems like Melanoma. You can purchase a shield for your monitor, but I believe you are buying into "Snake Oil." Check this short article from the National Institutes of Health, dated 1995. It is old and monitors have significantly improved since then...and this study states that monitors are not harmful if properly used.\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=8559054&dopt=Abstract\n\nHTW,\nMartin

Okay time for a serious answer. \n\nNo it's not bad for your health. And you won't go blind or anything else, in fact tests have shown that it will keep your **** operating better. But many people won't tell you this becasue they don't want you "playing" with it.

Have you been on the computer for a long while?... I use to get MASSIVE headaches and I found out it was because I was looking at a computer screen for too long. Try looking away and focus on something across the room ever 15 minutes or so.

You must check this out with your surgeon.  There may be protective eyewear needed.  Call your surgeon.

Okie... here's something that might help! U have unexplained headaches, you cant read those advert banners from far/ the blackboard in class from the last bench, your eyes get runny and itchy when youre trying to focus on a distant object, far away lights at night seem blurry and not pin points. If the answer to ANY of the above is YES.... its time to visit your friendly neighborhood Optometrist/ Ophthalmologist :) and btw... spectacles can make you look CUTE!

yup you can definitely worsen your sight if your wearing incorrectly prescribed glasses. Your glasses are probably too strong for your eyes so wearing them puts a strain on your eyes. They are trying to focus with the lens but the glasses aren't your correct vision. If you keep wearing them, your eyes will get used to doing that and will ultimately get worse.

1. see to it that your monitor screen has that shield that protects your eyes from harmful rays\n2. wear powered glasses if your eyes ae week o elsy wear plain glasses...it will protect your eyes from watering\n3. see to it that your chair is of appropriate height to that of your coputer\n4. the distance betwwn your eyes and the computer should be atleast 70cm\ni guess thats all about it.....although you can also refer to an eye specialist for proper details

Wearing contacts are a difficult adjustment for your eyes.  They must get used to a foreign body residing there.  Your doctor or optician likely recommended wearing them for short periods initially, working your way up to wearing them all day.  Have you been doing that?  If not, it could easily tire and irritate your eyes.  Giving your eyes some rest from the contacts may be enough to solve the problem.  Also, an over-the-counter eye care product may help as well.\n\nIf you are following their instructions and continue to have problems, you should probably return and have your eyes checked to make sure there are no other problems.

You cannot pysically damage your eyes by doing this, but you eyes will feel tired.\n\nHere's a few eye myths, ironically with your question on the top of the list...\nhttp://www.midwesteyecare.com/SubSection/index.php?SectionID=7&SubSectionID=154&ParentID=61

I think this is true if you aren't in need of the glasses that you are wearing (like if they are too strong of a prescription). If you haven't been prescribed glasses and are wearing someone else's or if you haven't been to the eye dr. in a while than the strength of glasses that you need may not be what you are wearing and that causes strain on your eyes. Get your eyes checked and go from there.
