Accomodation.

This has been attributed to glare from overhead lights, glare from the screen, poor contrast, reflections, poor lighting, squinting, infrequent blinking resulting in dry eyes, focusing close for long periods of time, ultraviolet light or "radiation" from the screen, inadequate screen resolution, etc. Also, letters on a computer screen consist of round pixels of light that form letters which are not sharply defined on the edges, different from the solid lines of normal print. This can create difficulty for the brain to accurately control focusing effort, resulting in blurred vision. The eye can tend to constantly shift its focus from the print to a point farther away and back again, causing fatigue. Various types of tinted glasses in various powers have been offered for sale to reduce the discomfort of computer work, but they often do not live up to their promises. Usually, the glasses seem to help for a while but then the old symptoms reappear.

It would seem that pinhole glasses offer as good a solution to this problem as it is possible to find, and at a much lower cost than other options. Glare from above or the sides is reduced by looking through the holes. The depth of field increases. Also, the focusing effort, or accommodation, is reduced, just as if you put on a weak pair of reading glasses. This also reduces the possibility of developing myopia from the constant close work, in those who are prone to do so. Ultraviolet, or other forms of radiation, have been shown to be of no consequence.

They might look stupid but I can guarantee you: they work.

so if i shut off the computer my eye sight would go back to normal pretty much?

ive been staring at computer screens for 10 years now. im fine

Just buy some

cool:

Doesn't "Flat" Panels have less radiation, and are better for people who are around computers all day??

Anyways, I hope I don't go blind cause of this damn thing! :(

iv tried many things latly since my eye sight has started to go down south, iv turned on more lights in the room so its not as dark, iv also changed the resolution on my screen higher & used this handy little feature in this browser im useing that lets you zoom the size of the font, so now its quite big compared to what it used to be.

Scrotum, your eyes can get better if you stop focusing from so close all the
time, yes. Pinhole glasses remove much of the strain anyway, so just get 'em.

im wondering if i cut down on the time i spend on the computer if it will help my eyesight get better.
