Fucking monitors
my eyes getting weak, i have to wear glasses while working with computers

May or may not be monitor related. Most people need them at a certain age. Speaking from experience.

Maybe ask your doctor about "Night-Lenses" Lenses you wear at night and you then fully see at day, plus your eye "Regenerates" My Eyesight has improved by 5%!

@iamavalos not true. It is *NOT* a myth. Short sightedness *MIGHT* be age-related, but it's usually the case for minors, for kids. Ever seen first-graders w/ glasses? That's because their eyeballs have not grown to the optimal shape yet.

Elderly usually suffers from long sightedness, which is usually age-related

long-lasting focus on things that are close, like a monitor, a book or some miniature work is tiring for eyes. If the focus is not changed often enough, one might eventually notice he can see quite well up close. But anything further looks blurry. The vision gets impaired. In such cases glasses might do even more harm, as eyeball lens will remain at the same flexed position and will no longer need to move, train [glasses will do their work instead]. Ever heard doctors say a term 'lazy eye'?

If you're unlucky, glasses won't even help and you'll be stuck in a permanent state of blurry vision and tired eyes 🙃 help

Eyes are weak, glasses are heavy moms spaghetti

I'm supposed to wear glasses. But i haven't really used them in over 8 years.

Don't experience any issues at all. Just need to squint a little if i need to read something far away.

@netikras afaik, eye strain from looking up close is only short term and does not have long term effects. Lazy eye is unrelated.

There is correlation between not getting enough sunlight at a young age and nearsightedness.

@electrineer eye strain is short-termed, caused by short-term looking up-close. But if you do that for 8 hours/day for months or years - ... :)
you might not even notice you sight is getting worse at first, esp if only one eye is affected

@netikras quite a long read but luckily it won't affect your eyesight: https://nature.com/news/...

@electrineer
"Some scientists think they have found a reason why."

well the beginning sounds reliable af 😁

I also got glasses but they only have blue filter and it is amazing, my eyes get sore in 10 minutes without them, with them I can be 10+ hours on PC

Reduce the blue color man, I heard blue damages the retina.

@electrineer FYI:

P.S. Why does everyone prefer blogs/newssites/other shitposts as a source of information to specialized websites?

@ZoLe
mine too, it's great

@EDWCode
did your eyes get worse since 5 years ago?

My eyes got worse after I bought an apple mac, bastard thing has the world's tiniest pixels. Anyhow I was in my mid forties at the time, now I need reading glasses as I can't focus on anything that is too close.

@cervantes01
i'm just 22
FUCK

@Nanos OMG that work station is so beautiful!

30 years ago you’d be glad you can wear glasses and not lost all of your hair by sitting in front of monitor

Having save problem because I had a bad CRT monitor when I got my first computer. That ruined my eyes.
Thinking about going for LASIK.

Same. I had perfect vision, and didn’t really think anything was wrong, but... everything on screen is so much crisper with these on. *sigh*

@Nanos this happened to me for a while, the monitor bezel actually looked weird and windows looked like they pointed inwards at the top, the effect wore off / I stopped noticing after a while though.

Macular degeneration is the absolute worst

@Nanos hurts your whole scalp instead

@AngryDev9981 Better, FEMTO-LASIK

@iamavalos Okay.. What are your references? Do you mind if I asked you to share a link or two?

@iamavalos
weeelllll....

"Environmental influences related to prolonged reading or near work as well as fewer hours spent outdoors are associated with a higher prevalence of myopia. A systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the association between time spent outdoors and myopia indicated a 2% reduced odds of myopia per additional hour of time spent outdoors per week after adjustment for covariates [47]. In our study, the association between near work and myopia indicated a 2% increased odds of myopia per additional diopter-hour of time spent on near work per week"

[a randomly chosen medical site reference from the wiki page you've suggested]

@iamavalos in biology and medicine everything is about probabilities and risks :) Everything. That's the thing I hated the most. Immunology, oncology, ophtalmology, genetics, nephrology, etc, etc. Every field is manipulating with _odds_ and _risks_.

Anyways... Just ignore me if you feel so :) Not going to continue this discussion

But have you looked outside on a sunny day recently? I can't even open my eyes outside anymore. I've become a mole. Thanks VR Development!

@Nanos how can you continue on finding ways that look more and more painful

@Mizz141 would study about it. thanks :)
