I dont think it will do much damage if u use a sort of transparent shielding screen in front of ur monitor.

Yes I know even I get headache sometimes. Best is to move your eyes away from computer every ten minutes and take a walk for few minutes in the house after every hour. I even take a coffee break in the middle of night if I sit on com for long.

You should keep a habit of discontinuing the viewing on the screen every 30 mins. I mean just look somewhere else for about 1 minute. Thats how the eyes again comes to a resting position. Also maintain a habit of splatting your eyes with cold water after every long session on your computer. Thanks

Yes, staring at a screen for that long, puts tremendous strain on your eyes. You need to take a break every hour

If you are going to sit in front of a computer for 10 hours than you need to take breaks frequently to prevent eye problems that can result of it. Looking at the monitor for so many hours is not healthy for the eyes so you should take 10-15 breaks each hour at least. I remember hearing this on a health show a long time ago.

Yes, I do think sitting in front of the computer for long hours is a dangerous thing. Your eyes will be the most effected. But it is not only tour eyes that will be effected. If your posture is bad when sitting then your back also might be effected.

Yes, more than 10 hrs might couse bad effects. try to close your eyes 10-15 seconds for every 15 minutes.

I have worked for years using my computer for more than 8 hours a day and then some more time at home for pleasure. It has not damaged my eyes and I have been told that it is because you do look away from the screen more timen that you realize and this is a form of protection for your eyes.

you really shouldn't be on the comptuer for 10 hours or more. not healthy at all. there's a 20-20-20 rule. every 20 minutes take a 20 second break and look at something that is 20 feet away.
