my eyes hurts because of too much "computer"

It would be wise to have regular eye checks and make sure you wear the right glasses if you need them, sometimes we are aware how much we strain our eyes.

Hello bhonti, the most common reason for such unpleasant sensation in our eyes is because, believe it or not, we forget to blink for a long time when looking at the computer screen! This causes dryness and our eyes hurt. So try consciously to take a break from looking at your screen, look away from it every 10 minutes and blink for a few seconds. Also, every hour or every two hours, stop what you are doing, lean back in your chair, close your eyes and cover them with your palms. This is called 'palming' and it relaxes your eyes a lot. DO it for a few minutes. Repeat these two things a few times for a day or two and you will notice the difference.

I have been worrying about that lately myself. I've been working on the internet much more as a side so that I can have more money saved up for myself for the things I will be needing shortly. My expenses will be increasing but my pay will not so I have to result to here. I have tried and will be trying to do this more, but to walk away from the computer every five or ten minutes, even if just for a minute. It gives me a moment to think of the next thing I want to respond to or do, and it rests my eyes. I also, when I buy it, drink DHA & Omega 3 milk which is good for eyesight. Eating healthier, drinking healthier and remembering to atleast take a glance away from the computer every twenty minutes helps.

Take a transparent white cloth,its okay if it has a little light colours added on it,mainly the veils are good,take and place it on the computer screen,the light that flows to your eyes will decrease and you will not feel that hurt with the computer light.Try this out ,as its a transparent cloth you will be able to see the screen as before and do all your works,and your eyes will also not hurt.

You have to give your eyes a break if you don't wanna wear eye glasses. I've got a poor vision that started before I graduated college but those times and even after I was working in companies, I never thought that my vision is slowly getting blurry. I just thought it's normal. Until one day I decided to have it checked and learned I need to wear glasses. I am also wearing contact lenses so that I will feel comfortable whenever I am outside. Too much computer can really lead to losing your 20/20 vision.

I would suggest having some form of relaxation in between the time you are using computer. A simple relaxation technique that I do is after every 20 minutes, I usually look up and focus on something like 10 feet away preferably a green plant or anything else with a soothing or calming color for 10 seconds. It usually help in relieving my eye strains.

You are lucky because you still have 20/20 vision. I have a poor eyesight and it becomes poorer when I started to take up Computer Programming course which requires me to be in front of computer for long hours. My glasses now has uv coat. According to the eye doctor, it will protect me against direct radiation from the computer. I think, you can also ask an eye doctor for some prevention so you won't have poor eyesight.

well, bhonti anything that is done to much will hurt is bad....i suggest that after working dont wash your face or eyes with water, and adjust the brightness of the computer that you've been using and of course enough rest... Happy mylotting!

yeah,this is very common now. I also have spent more than 8 hours for facing the screen of computers.somethime,i feel very tired and i will try to look forward and some far place to let my eyss have a rest. It is really not good for facing computer for a so long time, but nowadays, without computer or laptop, it is hard to do my work. so i can not give up using laptop, the only way i can do is to adjust myself and try to find more time let our eye have a good rest. so do not fix the screen continuously for a long time, maybe you have have a rest for a while and this can help you and me a lot.

Hi there bhonti!!! Try to take a break from computer every two hours.And try to avoid your eyes from being dry.You can also use multi-coated eyeglass just to protect your eyes from light that comes from your computer.

You are right the same situation is mine my eyes also hurting me because I am working on Computer too much so I was take some days rest and then join again.

Hello, I dont like wearing glasses either becAuse it is kinda awkward for me.. Yeah, but if you dont really like to damage your eyes you should consult your doctor to give you a glass that have a protection to the screen of the computer. I am planning to have that soon because i am really concern to my eyes.. So, if i were you? You should also do that because you are experiencing pAin in the eyes and headache at the same time.

It happens to me everyday! It's my school break now and I've been just Mylotting and trying to earn heaps while I'm just sitting at home. I have spent too much time staring at the computer screen, I my eyes tend to get red and sore. I've been getting annoying headaches too but I just can't help it. I have assignments for school too and I need the computer. But every time I look at the computer, my temples just start hurting after an hour or 2 and I just need to stop and take a break. I actually do wear glasses and I need to wear them when I'm on the computer or else I will see a very blurry screen! But that still gives me headaches because my eyes are way too tired. Even though it is your job and that's important but take a break. maybe just sit back and close your eyes for at least 5 to 10 minutes, it might help and drink water. Always take breaks after 1 to 2 hours or else you'll overwork your eyes. I guess don't add more pressure on your eyes by watching TV too.

Prevention is better than cure So consult your eyes ta doctor and ask them a good method to cure you eyes. Make sure that you tell all you problems of your eye. This will surely help you

Hi!Bhonti You should try to blink consciously sometimes.Try to do some Pranayama(breathing exercises).It helps in improving eyesight.Eat carrots,milk and a lot of veggies.Try watching green plants and green vegetation.It helps eyes to relax.Walk on green grass with naked feet.It acts as giving accupressure to your feet and helps improving eyesight.Try taking small 1-2 minutes breaks.Close your eyes with force and then open.Repeat it 10 times.It will help.
