For those who don't know, AFK stands for Away From Keyboard/Keypad. And I wasn't here for some quite some time because I was experiencing headaches and sore, tired eyes. I think it was because I was in front of my laptop and my smartphone all the time? I don't know. I hate this feeling. My sisters told me to go to an eye doctor to have my eyes checked. They were teasing me that it's about time I get my own eyeglasses like them. Omg! I don't wanna wear glasses. Not yet. huhu Do you wear glasses?

I want to get eyeglasses now although I don't like it but if its needed then no choice. I hope you can visit your doctor soon especially that you're experiencing headaches.

@sol_cee I also feel that I need eye glasses now because sometimes I feel that my vision is not the same as before.

I wear glasses for the computer, they protect the eyes against the radiations.

@sol_cee Yes, my vision is okay, except that I have a high eye pressure (glaucoma). I had laser surgery some years ago and I need drops.

Have you got your eyes examined? Hope you are feeling well now. Perhaps you can try taking a break every 30 minutes looking at the screen. This helps me. I have been wearing glasses since young. It's quite inconvenient actually. I just got a new pair of glasses because of Presbyopia (getting old....)

@sol_cee Here, we always call people who wear glasses "four eyes" too.... Do you mean there was only one high school classmate who wear glasses? How about elementary school? Here, there are many kids wearing glasses even in kindergarten now. During my time, there were also quite a number of kids wearing glasses in elementary school

Oh, I had a classmate in high school and she used to wear eyeglasses so everyone called her 'four eyes'.

If you're experiencing blurry visions and headaches then you should consider checking out with your eye doctor to be sure that you need glasses or not.

@sol_cee Ok just observe keenly when it happens since there are times that you thought that it is not blurry but at times you didn't notice it is already blurred already. But I guess if it's nothing serious then you should let your eyes rest from what stressing them out.

I didn't know about AFK . . . but the funny thing is I can often be AFK . Ah, it is very possible that's all from the screen. I know I need reading glasses . . . I can see the screen just fine - and far away stuff - but I can't see teeny tiny type up close (I am farsighted for sure). Eventually I will get them .

@sol_cee I do drive, and I have no problems seeing anything - day or night. In fact I can really see things clearly everywhere . . . it's just in reading the small type up close. But it is weird that if I put that small type further away from me, I can see it better .

Do you drive? I have a friend who has different glasses for everything- reading, driving, night outs

Just rest. Your eyes are tired. But if the headaches continue, go to the eye doctor. Yes, I wear eyeglasses.
