Hello again. I’ve had issues with my eyes lately and I think that’s because I spend quite many hours a day coding something or watching some videos (porn mostly) from the internet.
Yesterday I read from some book that screens refreshrate should be atleast 72 hz. My laptops monitor has only 60 hz.
I’ve been thinking that I may buy new computer or atleast new monitor to myself, and I would like to know that what kind of monitor would be healthiest for eyes. I’ve read that LCD is best also in this, but what other things should I know? Contrast?
the 72 hz bit is probably only with respect to crt screens. (And I also think it was with respect to headaches not so much your eyes.)
most if not all lcd-screens are 60 hz and no one is going blind because of them.
Good distance from the screen is important because of muscle in your eyes, this should have rectified itself because its likely to make you tired really fast. (that is what coffee is for)
having some mild lighting around your screen is recommend, although I don’t always brother with it.
having said that nutrition might just as likely be the cause of issues with your eyes, I would recommend going by a (trustworthy) doctor or other consult(big companies have ppl for these kinds of things.) and go over your situation.
But seriously, Mr_Light is correct - it’s impossible to actually damage your eyes by looking at a screen, but you may tire them by excessive use…
If you’ve noticed any persistant changes in your eyes or eyesight (ie lasting for more than 3 days) then going to an optician or doctor is very highly recommended.
Thanks for the tips. I guess my eyes are so tired. I’ll go to an optician today. I’ll try to use computer and television as little as possible for next week.
So nutrition may affect to my eyes… I think I’ll change pizzas to blueberries (doesn’t some pilots eat blueberries because these may help to eyesight?).
i spend 5-8 hrs a day on a computer. Except light dizzines, im fine. I guess after you go from 0.0 to -5.5 in 8 years, yo eyes are like walnut shells, nothing affects them… :o Smaller monitors are better, so is low resolution (1024x768). Yeah and wear glasses +2 from yo current vision if u r -5.5 like me…
Also, high blood pressure (from watching porn for example) affects yo optic nerves.
And i heard that carrots help eyesight somewhat…
I actually went to an optician few weeks ago and she said that I had some kind of infection in my left eye and she gave me some kind of antibiotics. My eyes are better now. My eyesight is quite weak. It’s about -8.0 in both eyes (I am not sure is there different scale between countries to measure eyesight). It has been same for last 4-6 years. When I was seven years old it was about that 0.0 but when I turned 20 it was 8.0.
Thank god lenses aren’t like bottoms of a glassbottles these days. Well of course there are options to goggles but eyeglasses are simpliest. I don’t care if I look nerdy because I am
I guess I must start eating carrots.
That blood pressure is also one thing to worry because my grand father and my mother had some kind of high blood pressure disease. My blood pressure has been quite high occassionally so I guess it might affect to my eyes.
