I dont usually get a headache when in front of the computer screen for hours otherwise I would get a head ache all day long because my job requires me to spend hours in front of the computer screen.I usually get headaches when I dont get my usuall hours of sleep and I am doing anything other than sleeping .

Yes, I get spreadsheet eyes at work, from staring at multiple spreadsheets all day long. I usually get up every couple hours and walk around the building. Getting one of those screen tints also helps. Try to increase your font and push the actual monitor as far away from you as you can. If you check: www.webmd.com/eye-health/computer-vision-syndrome They will give you some tips.

Yeah, I do. Especially when my broadband is too slow, my eyes get more stressed and then I have headaches. When I feel that, I rest. I don't think my work is worth it to lose my eyes because of too much stress

I don't have headaches even if I stare at the computer for long periods of time. I don't own eyeglasses nor contacts, so I think my eyes are a great asset for me. Woohoo!! Don't stare at the monitor too long. Use the comp for two hours, then take twenty minutes off. Look around and look at the farthest thing you can see in front of you. That helps. =)

I dont get any headaches even I stay infront of the computer for 24 hrs. Its rare case for me, I cant remember when I got headache before. I use screen filter infront of computers. May be, this prevents me from getting the headache. I also decrease brightness of the monitor too.

Ya I used to get headaches every no & then. Actually I work as online marketer. So I've to sit in front of the computer around 10-12 hours a day. But I try to take a break every 30 minutes. Take a walk for 5 minutes. cool my eyes with eye cooling goggles. It really helps. Now a days I hardly get headache
