Do you post on MyLot until your eyes hurt?

Some days I post until my fingers and eyes hurt. I've been gone from MyLot for almost half a year, so I have lots of discussion topics stored up in my brain. And, I like to chat online about anything and everything.
That's not good for my eyes. I've tried maximizing the screen to make it easier to see the words. But, by the end of my time on MyLot, my eyes are still sore. I wish the font was bigger, so it would be easier to see the words on MyLot. As is, it feels like I'm sitting a million miles away from the screen and I have to squint a lot.
Any suggestions for making the interface more eye-friendly? Would appreciate suggestions. (P.S. How do you make the font larger on the computer screen?)

Yeah, I ma doing it right now. I am writing for alomst 4 hours, and it is almost 4 in the morning here, it is all dark around me and everybody sleeps. I have heard my flatmate going to the bathroom 3 times already since he went to sleep and I am still writing. I don't even have to mention that my eyes really heart.

I get headaches from spending too much time on my computer sometimes, but I've found taking frequent breaks helps a lot. I get up and go do something else after about 30 minutes, even if it's just to get up and go to the bathroom.
Also the glasses I have now are antiglare and they seem to help a lot. I woke up with a migraine this morning, and usually even after they go away I have to be pretty careful for a while or they come back. This one hasn't come back yet.

No I don't.I take breaks. Since I work from home, I go back and forth throughout the day. Cuts down on the headaches. We could suggest a more eye friendly color to mylot. They make changes all the time. This could be one of them.

hahaha... a little bit funny but why should you spent much time in mylot if there are consequences? When your eyes got hurt spending much time in front of your computer, then why not limit it? Besides, mylot is not a high-paying site enough to cover any expense you may incur when there is eye disorder or vision complexities.
