my eyes

Nowadays we indeed are likely to overuse our eyes.The most harmful thing to our eyes is the computer;however,we cannot give up using it.It is necessary for our work,even our daily life.Every day I read the news and chat with friends on the internet.Usually,I have to use it to search for the information and some material.Gradually the computer is becoming an indispensable part in my life.If one day I don't surf the internet,I will feel uncomfortable just like that I have missed something important.This is a kind of dependence on the internet.Sometimes,I just cannot stop staring at the screen for several hours.Only when I feel a pain in my eyes can I stop to have a rest.This I think is a terrible habit .Maybe someday my eyes will refuse to work for my abusing them.Oh,my god.I really need to change this phenomennon.

Oh wow I cannot stay on computer for 5 hours straight ??that must be a lot of reading which I hate a lot of reading on computer, it hurts my eyes and I rather read from books than reading in computer straight 5hours. You should atleast rest your eyes for every 15minutes and hope you'll be over with that soon??

hello there, We are on the same boat. I teach so I had been preparing my lesson and my eyes are tired as well. I also want to rest my eyes! How I wish I could just go to school to teach without preparation Well anyway take a rest dear before you hit your paper again!

Rest for everything is necessary like body, mind, eyes. More reading or working in Computer means may be problem in eyes so try to rest for some time.

Yes, staring at a computer screen for long periods of time can cause strain. Try every so often to look around, or go do something to prevent this.

OMIGOSH! I couldn't take to face a monitor for more than 3 hours... And you stating that you are facing your computer for 5 hours?! OMG again! Oh girl, you are amazing... LOL. Well, in your case surely you will feel all you mentioned because of doing that. I don't want to be a researcher at all if that is your case. Well, good luck! Wish you to be fine...

My eyes get terribly dry and itchy, because I use the computer for hours and hours at a time, I do try and get regular breaks to give my eyes a break but you get so engrossed with what you are doing you don't realize the time. I have very low concentration levels and my mind starts to wonder especially if it was about a subject that bored me. I like reading but only in small doses, I couldn't read continually for hours on end, I'd fall asleep or become restless and bored.

I too faced the similar issue. This may cause only due to restless job/reading you do and moreover you will keep your eyes concentrated while reading the content. Better you flicker you eyes continuously to avoid this issue in future.

I don't think that I could ever be the kind of person that was comfortable with doing a lot of research all the time because of the fact that it is work that is quite tedious to get done. I loved to do research in terms of doing experimentation and collecting data and then compiling it in such a way that people were able to learn from it. However, when it came to compiling research from already written documents, this was not something that I was ever able to enjoy.

Thing is, you really have to do it. You have no choice. I have been there a thousand times and it doesn’t make it better. What we can advice is do take rests and do something else rather than stare at the monitor for along period of time. I do break the things that I preach because they are times when you really want to be sure of what you are reading or encoding on screen. After this is over, make a pact that you won’t see a computer screen for a certain amount of hours. I did when someone gave me a project and there was no way I was getting online when I really really felt tired both my eyes, mind and body.

Another reason why you should have started your proposal earlier and not put it off till last minutes, right? You should really take short breaks in between the hours...

Hi ungu! I am not sure if this would help. I am using a clear eyeglasses, just the ordinary one. Just to minimize the light coming form the computer. I also would see to it that I have to rest my eyes from time to time. Have a nice day!

Well actually you can not look straight to your computer for 5 hours,as we all know we should let our eyes to take a break after 1 hour's usage,and you also need to buy a eyedrop because you are a researcher. Wish everything will be OK for you,my friend.

What. Hey! I didn't know you are a researcher! What's it like to be one? I took the course Communication Research because I want to be a researcher. Heh. And yeah, lots of reading, which is fine with me because I can read all day without doing anything... just reading. Lol. But that's true.

I suggest you to have more break and rest. With good rest, I am sure you can move faster and effectively. Getting our eyes tired will let us to have high chances to be blinded. I do hope you can take care of your eyes well by having more rest and consuming good nutrition.

yeah,it's rrally hard.these days I'm preparing for my final exam for a long hour everday.my eyes can't stand it.I need a rest.I think you really need it.

you know? I am doing a project with a word limit 4000 but now I have about ~9000 Trimming it down Deadline tomorrow
