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?

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

@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 .

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