Hurts's mine eyes's...

Uggh!!! I have 20/20 vision but since I work at a computer for 12 to 16 hours a day I have glasses that I use to help that. For about 5 years I've worn them and I'm always exhausted, don't rest terribly well and my eyes kind of hurt. I just figured it was the long hours. So I went to the eye doctor today (a new one) and he said, "Gosh, no wonder your eyes hurt and I bet you don't sleep well." He went on to totally change things and got me hooked up with reading glasses more or less. He said, only wear them when working and don't wear anything (for my vision, he still wants me clothed) when you are not working. Well it's a huge change from what I had that I wore all the time. For most of the day I felt fantastic and had lots of energy but now my eyes are aching and my head hurts. He said this would be normal and might last up to a week. That stinks but I think I'm going to love it once I adjust... So if you are tired and your eyes hurt don't blame your work. Go see a good eye doctor and let them give you some help. It just might pay off. I totally can tell even as I type this (head and eyes hurting) that my eyes are way more relaxed and it just feels right.:cool: What do you know a post that isn't trolling, flaming or political. If you are interested in something like that keep with the trend. If you are a troll or a flamer please get a life and go somewhere else.

Only problem with that is, how do you know they're a good doctor before you pay money to see them?

Would be nice to have a a warning system though. "Yes, I'd like to make an appointment with so-and-so. No you don't, he's an idiot. Oh thank you for letting me know." Click.

Funny you'd describe it like that. Someone gave us that story on our previous ophthalmologist.:-D

I never had glasses till i started working. 6months into my job, I had frequent headaches, blurred long distance viewing and squinting to read the bill-boards.Did i mention i have to spend time staring at a CRT monitor that has no anti-glare screen and is quite old. Eventually I visited an op who prescribed glasses. FFFRRREEEEDDDOMMMM!!!!!

20/20!? Lucky... I've been wearing glasses/contacts since before I can remember. I recently switched eye-doctors and I was very surprised that contacts should feel comfortable and not feel like I was wearing a piece of sand paper in each eye. Apparently, some contacts have pretty hard edges, which feel like sand in the eye. Needless to say, my new doc hooked me up with some soft lenses which I can't feel at all, and I sometimes forget I'm even wearing them. Moral of the story (for me): shop around, and tell your doctor exactly how your eye's feel.

What are 'reading glasses' compared to 'normal' glasses? :confused: :~

Glasses for long-sighted people to let them see close up (for reading, for example).

I went and had my eyes checked, she said "do you use a screen for work?", I said I've been staring at a screen for 8 hours a day for the last 20+ years, she nearly threw me out! She basically said there was nothing she could do for me, have a nice day. :(

Not to be a smart-arse, but they are actually optometrists over here, but are often (incorrectly) called opticians. I live with one and this erroneous method of address is one of her (many) pet hates. She informs me that Americans call them eye doctors because they are actually doctors who specialise in eyes!

benjymous was making the point that "eye doctor" is a dumbed-down expression. Why use that when there is a perfectly usable word in "ophthalmologist"?

I've also found that the right level of soft lighting and switching from CRTs to LCD panels helped my eyes a lot.
