Eye Fatigue

Anyone have this or had this?
You know, pressure around the forehead, eyeball pain, shoulder/neck tightness/pain etc....a lot of discomfort (unless the eyes are closed).
I work with the computer all day and it's getting in the way of my day to day activities (been going to bed very early in the evening, just to get some relief). Even with good rest, I still get it a few hours into the morning.  
I'm going to see an ophthalmologist today, but wondered what you guys do with this condition...very annoying.
 

It may be the monitor you're using.
Years ago, when flat-screen monitors first came out, I had one that caused horrible eye-strain migraine headaches.
Working 12+ hours was almost a guaranteed migraine.
 
Take breaks and make sure not to stare at the monitor during these periods.
This helps for RSI issues too.
 
If possible, I'd try a different monitor (especially if the current one is older).
Make sure the refresh-rate is at least 60Hz at the resolution you wish to run.
 
 

Here's da link. Might not be your style. These aren't the ones I have but similar.

no joke when it comes to eyesight.

All in all if I had to make a choice, I'd choose hearing over eyesight. I mean it works for Stevie and Ray.
 
Sadly I can't hear. So I am a sad shell of a man.

I wear RX glasses too. I guess it depends on your scrip. You can get readers for computer if you're farsighted. If your near sighted you don't need magnification. I got a pair of RX computer glasses. They were like 600.00. My insurance brought it down to around 100 bucks. Honestly I do just as well with 2.25 computer glasses.2.25 is pretty high magnification. I could have probably done ok with 1.50 or 1.75. The 2.25's are like wow! No squinting to see any more.
I just ordered another pair of progressives for all round stuff. No insurance at WalMart for about 250.00. My wife stepped on the other ones. It was an accident....I think.

Thanks guys for chiming in....I appreciate the tips.
 
I saw the eye Doc. and I'm getting the Computer glasses with the yellow/amber (glad you confirmed this Bob). I'm also getting new lenses for my regular wearing glasses.
 
Yeah Tim, they're a bit pricey, mine came to $480 for both with good insurance (without it, it would've been close to $2500).....could've used that for some good plugins.  
 
 Of course, I have to wait another 2 weeks in this condition , but I'm really hoping they'll make a big difference.
 
Baps, I'd hate to have to make a decision on which one to choose, but I'm with you on the hearing.

Glad you found a good solution to the problem Mesh. RX is probably the way to go, especially if the person has other eye conditions. That way they can make them just for you.

2500.00? Dang those must have been diamond studded Elton glasses.

 
I was thinking the same..my last pair of reading glasses cost me £120.

Got the new PC glasses and tried it for a few days. Still have the same problem (even though the glasses are supposes to block out 80% of the blue light) with intense headaches/nausea/eye fatigue etc... However, I can see the screen and keyboard very clearly.
 
They are going to replace them with some purple tinted lenses (hopefully today).   

Thanks Tim, I'm hoping it works as well (day to day, it takes a toll on all my activities). Apparently, the guy made a mistake on the due date and it's going to be ready on the 10th of Sept.
 
At least it's a 3 day weekend and my eyes can rest a bit.
