I just figured out that I have eye defect last 3 weeks ago and it's two defects.Myopia and astigmatism.The right eye is the left eye is 175 and the right 150.Yes..It's crazy high and was getting crazy for 1 weeks for severe head ache thinking that it was just my menstruation cycle or migraine but yeah was not able to see clear anymore,It's blurry so I went to the eye doctor and they checked it. They give me anti radiation lense,Anti Uv.Stress resistant and for the eye defect.Since I start using eyeglasses for the first day on,my head aches are away and feel better again.Now want to know about computer addicts,do you have eye defects already?

Excessive computer use makes your eye fatigue & also may produce a dry eye. But it does not hamper your vision at all. The myopia & astigmatism are not the result of computer use and they can be corrected by glasses as already have been prescribed by your doctor. Use the glass constantly & you will get rid of your headache. Do some convergence exercises, give rest to your eyes off and on by turning your eyes away from the computer & may use some artificial tear substitutes. All these are sufficient for your eyes.

I was going to post the same but will not repeat as I have astigmatism since birth. There is no correcting but the eyeglasses will assist you so you do not have eye strain which is what causes the headaches. Good luck to you.

It's a good thing that you consulted the doctor right away. Eye problems shouldn't be ignored no matter how small they are. Good thing for me, I'm using the internet for almost half of my life but my vision is still clear as of now. Hopefully though, it won't get back on me since I tend to abuse it sometimes. :)

I have eye problems because I've been using glasses since I was in the elementary grade & now I'm in my 30ish.. But not because of the computers but because of reading books late at night, love to stay up late nights just to read nancy drew books when I was young.. Still now I'm still using glasses even when I'm out driving can't go without my glasses.. My eyesight has gotten worse because I found out 6 months ago I have that astigmatism on my right eyesight.. And I thought since I was using glasses since I was little & eating lots of carrots my eyesight would get better, apparently not.. God bless u & have a great day friends...

Hmm.. At the moment the only eye problem I've had from too much usage of the computer is that sometimes it would hurt and get so irritated that it would automatically produce those tears, sometimes there's also the urge to blink a lot and its annoying .
