My eyes are aching because of the computer screen!!!

I would suggest you check the quality of your monitor and your resolution settings. If you have a small low-quality monitor set at a high resolution (things are smaller) things look out of whack and get fuzzy causing undue eyestrain. Just adjusting the resolution to something bigger so there is not as much strain involved will probably help. Next time you get a computer, put a high quality digital monitor and decent video card at the top of the list, your eyes will thank you for it. Be sure to check the lighting you are using also. Is there glare on your screen from the sun or a lamp?

lol...yes I do feel this way quite often...But I thought I was the only one! It usually helps me to actually PUT ON my glasses, lol. I'm so bad about not wearing them. I also use eye drops to cool the redness and get off the computer for a bit. I get headaches alot when I'm online too much....So, I think I'd rather have the eye aches than the headaches, but both STINK! LOL

You should make sure to step away from the computer screen for a break at least every half an hour or so. When was the last time you had your eyes checked? You might need to see your doctor or optician about your eyes, and at the very least you really should try not to spend too many hours staring at the screen

i get this problem sometimes and i take a 20 minute break away from the computer and this solves the problem of aching eyes

i think the problem is that human eyes werent meant to look at stuff so close for such a long period of time. make sure you take breaks to look a things farther away. that should help reduce the aching and strain.

Yes! I used to get migrained from looking at the computer for too long since I work in an office and I deal with a computer the entire time basically. I got a filter for the screen which reduces glare and eye strain and haven't had a problem since. It was great investment so look into it.

It happens to me too, specially at night. I find myself staying up late on the computer, my eyes get to burning. Its a combination of staring at the bright screen and also being sleepy. You have to give your eyes a break now and then. I just had a bright idea, I don't know if it would work, I will have to ty it out myself. Wear sunglasses, that might help.

I think you should move as far as possible to computer and have your eyes rest for a while. You must have glued yourself to PC. If you could try to sleep better for your eyes. If you overdo it your eyes might start to ache and that would be a lot of discomfort for you for several days. Rest is the best cure for that discomfort.

AS SOON AS I START GETTING EYE STRAIN FROM MYLOTITIS I GET UP and do manual work, go for a walk or do some tai ji, that shifts the energy around a bit, because all my work is online, so I have to go on and off the computer at periodic intervals , otherwise It can make my brain completely cease up, including the rest of me.

yeah mine burn sometimes but it takes longer than an hour usually. i get a headache easily from too much computer use as well. but it still doesnt make me get off of it!

I always joke around to my friends when they complain of something about themselves physically saying, "You know not a lot of people survive another day of that". Will its kind of too ominous but it will hit the point of asking what had you done to yourself gaining that complain from you. Going back to your concern, usually our eyes reacts adversely to too much light & same goes for less of it. If you felt teary eyed & felt like a burning sensation then it is too much light so reduce as much light on your PC & in the room itself. I usually turn off all the lights in the vicinity of where i do my PC activities & reduce contrast also in my monitor. It helps also that you dont just focus too much on one particular page in your PC. But if you still continue to feel adversely, with your eye, please do consult a professional, like i said to my friends - "Not many get to survive" what you just felt.

if you feel that way you need to take a break and look into the trees and relax. but for me an hour on the computer is too short to make my eyes sore. you probably need a doctor's attention.

when using computer for long times, you have to be prepared for it, also be prepared for some hairloss, if u dont take care,i try not look at the computer continiously for 1hour, do u have power in ur eyes
