Default Re: Anyone got any suggestions for dealing with eyestrain?

Tell your optometrist. You don't have one because, "My eyes are perfect!"?

Guess what? They aren't. Even if you just have a pair of glasses for staring at the screen for 8+ hours and never wear them outside of that you'll probably find relief.

I know this because not only am I nearsighted, my eyes don't focus correctly. I'm told that most peoples eyes slightly cross when at rest but mine would like to be slightly the other way. "Google-eyed", I guess. This caused me no end of trouble staring at monitors until an optometrist tested for it and corrected my lenses. Now I'm good for 15+ hours.
