It's gotten to the point where I've gone to get an eye exam and gotten prescription glasses (but I'm still experiencing the same thing). Between checking my phone (email, apps etc.) and doing homework on the computer there's at least 5-7 hours of screen time a day about 5 days a week. Does anyone suffer from the same symptoms? Are there any suggestions out there for relief? ]]> 2022-03-10 18:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2088881209 https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2089205905 I have been experiencing the same thing lately I currently wear contacts and wear readers with blue light filters that are 1 power when I'm on the computer for long hours.]]> 2022-03-10 21:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2089205905 jcozens6 https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2090664350 I have not experienced this but I know it is very common. My husband recently had to get prescription glasses as well because of headaches from too much screen time. I found this video and I hope it helps.]]> 2022-03-11 15:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2090664350 jacksonc83 https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2090797954 I don't experience these symptoms although I do spend similar amounts of time using my laptop and phone for work and school. I make it a point to get up and get away from my technology whenever possible! I try to do chunks of work at a time so im not just staring at a screen for hours ]]> 2022-03-11 17:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2090797954 sbonner33 https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2092542519 I work full-time in a staff position and teach part-time online. That combined with school, I feel like I live in front of a computer. I experience eye-strain, back and neck pain, and headaches. My biggest and most impactful suggestion: walk away. Set a timer to literally look away from your electronic device and stretch your neck and eyes. Good luck! ]]> 2022-03-13 18:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2092542519 mpillow https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2092681200 Being on a computer all day or even reading can cause tension headaches. These blue light glasses are a good way to help prevent that and make it more easily for your eyes to adjust and able to see clearly with these glasses. I have not personally used them but I have friends that have used these and they work wonders for them. ]]> 2022-03-13 21:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2092681200 madduxtrace17 https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2092990193 I experience this and I have found that the prescription glasses really help. My eyes get less tired throughout the day. ]]> 2022-03-14 03:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2092990193 emilyhayes9 https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2117890459 Most of my classes are online this semester, so I spend the majority of my day staring at my computer. I use blue light blocking glasses because my head and eyes can only make it a few minutes without them. I try to take a few breaks and close my laptop to give my eyes a rest. Going outside to get some fresh air also makes a huge difference.]]> 2022-03-28 19:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/deadra30/g77lovil0hhslkzo/wish/2117890459
