Eye strain
I use a computer basically all day long at work. The last few days I've noticed that I'm not seeing quite as clear and my head has been hurting. It's been YEARS since I've had an eye exam but have always had no problems seeing. In fact, my eyes have always been really good. Some of what I am looking at on the computer (and no it's not always Dlive) is rather small and tedious. I probably just need to have my eyes checked, and it may be time for reading glasses for work. Any other ideas?

Re: Eye strain
Sounds like to me that you could use some reading glasses for use of the computer. Computers put alot of strain on people's eyes especially if thats what they do all day is work with computers. I would suggest going to the eye doc! Good luck!
Happy New Year!

Re: Eye strain
The reading glasses work really well. After working on a computer all day, some people come up with strange ways to help with reading the small numbers, don't they Ladiva??? LOL

When I turned 40 I was suddenly blind. Yea, get you some reading glasses.

Re: Eye strain
Someone asked if I've had my blood pressure checked lately, which I haven't but don't think it's really the case. I'll try the reading glasses first. Hubby was told to get some (he wears contacts) but refuses to try them. Maybe I'll let him borrow mine.

Re: Eye strain
I was always told that "playing with yourself" would make a person go blind. If that is true, I have finally reached the point where I need glasses!

my eye doc said that those were bad on your eyes. i would recommend going to the eye doc and getting them checked. they usually want to do glaucoma tests (sp) if its been a while. if they do, take someone to drive you home.
