I am a new member of mylot and as you can see i have not posted much as of now. My first few days with mylot was fun as i can read a lot of interesting discussion and be able to join them. However, i noticed that my eyes hurt from spending too much time on the computer. They also tend to get kinda heavy at times and i seem to have problem focusing on objects after i use the internet.
I want to spend more time in mylot but i'm afraid it will be bad for my eyes. Any advice you can give?

I try not to sit in front of the comp for more than 30 min at a time!! i will do as many discussions as i can in that time and then get off. I usually try and wait for an hour before getting back on!! the comp is already bad for your eyes!! Do not try and push on and strain your self when your body is telling you to stop!! I usually get a good bit done this way in a day!!

Thanks. Once you get in front of the computer it is sometimes hard to get off after 30 minutes that's why i usually stay longer. But i'll do my best to follow your advice, i think that will definitely help if i could limit the time i face my monitor

Hello,esjei,you can take a rest for ten minutes for every one hour you have been in front of the computer,in doing this,you can keep your eyes healthy and at the same time,you can reply more or stay longer in the internet,I hope you can enjoy your time in mylot as it is a good place to meet new people and learn different cultures.

Definately my eyes do hurt. Initially I joined I used to reply at least 50 discussions per day but now it has become difficult for me to post more than ten. In between mylot discussions take breaks like we get in tv serials then your eyes would be saved.

Thanks, a rest is definitely what my eyes need. But is it not bad to wash your face when your eyes are tired? I heard that you are not suuposed to do that becase that will be bad for your eyes. But that is just what i heard from others. Do you think it will really help?
