One thing that personally helped me with eye strain was blinking more often.
Sharon, you never fail to teach me new things! Great job!
Sharon, please don't hurt those eyes. They're the best part of these videos.
Thank You Sooo much I will try Yours Tips , Thank you for sharing.
I think this video very useful. As a university myself, I have to use computer/laptop a lot for my assignments, which my eyes always feeling very dry and sometimes blurry at night. After watching this video, i start to think back about my postures when typing and the position of my laptop. I have never heard about the 20-20-20 rule, but it sounds very useful. Definitely gonna have a try tonight!
+Danielle Liang The 20-20-20 rule is a helpful tip. But as for me, I do have an OcuShield screen protector on my monitor that protects my eyes and it really helps me coz I usually spend long hours working at my computer. You can try it yourself too. Most of us spend more hours staring at computers/laptops, smartphones, TV screen, etc. For this, we may suffer from digital eye strain. OcuShield is a Blue Light screen filter that protects our eyes when we are looking at our digital devices. It helps reduce digital eye strain and help with better sleep patterns.
A good substitute for the glasses is a program called F.lux. It helps me a lot with eye strain. It basically tones down the lighting on your monitor from 6500K to 3400K (from a bright blue to a mellow yellow). Useful for looking at text with white backgrounds or using a white canvas for painting.
another great sharon's video!
Great explanation and tips, thanks!
I just strained my eyes looking at her!!!!
lmfao
That neck though
Lol nice
No
Simp
Really i love your tips.
Thanks for the tip
nice I'm gonna share this next week on our Tuesday IT Tips
the tip about putting the laptop on a hardcover book really helped me
Yes of course! I didn't mention it because that's a basic technique, but you should definitely start by adjusting your brightness, contrast, and text settings. If you're on Windows, there is a built in calibration and ClearType text adjustment tools you can access from the Start menu.
lol 8 years later... im the first person to like your comment
@@downo ok
Thanks for the info
Good to know someone else heard that
I have been working with this problem and trying out different techniques for years, and have found something that really works: doing a baking soda mask after using the computer. There is plenty of information on this procedure in the internet for beauty purposes, etc., but it works wonders for computer fatigue, eye fatigue after computer use, feeling like a zombie after hours at the computer...
You simply make a paste of baking soda and warm water and apply it to your face. Leave it on for about 5 minutes, maybe a little more, then wash it off. When I do this after hours at the computer, I feel like the tiredness in my face and head is completely lifted away, I feel totally refreshed, like new. The only side effect is that it dries your skin, so it is good to apply some moisturizer on your face afterwards. (I prefer warm sesame oil or warm olive oil for this purpose, as they're much healthier for the face than commercial moisterizers)
Why does this work? Baking soda is known to suck away negative or harmful energies from the body; baking soda, or baking soda/salt, baking soda/epsom salt baths are well-known for this purpose. Not everyone might believe in such an apparently mysterious means of action. This doesn't matter, though, since it works whether one believes in it or not.
Wishing good health, in spite of computer use! :)
Screen distance + brightness/contrast reduction + lighting + glasses. Is what worked for me.
I have eye strain fatigue I need to get one of these Gaming glasses for spending alot of time in my computer
👍Great & practical tips‼️
Very helpful!
after 10 years, man I should have seen it 10 years ago. thanks and its a good/vital information.
Headaches are caused by fluorescent backlights in modern monitors. When you look at google page, for instance (mostly white), you are looking straignt into the lamp.
Consider
a) switching to a monitor with an LED backlight
and/or
b) switch your entire desktop and web browsing experience to "light on dark" scheme
and/or
c) dial monitor brightness way down, possibly even to zero, depending on monitor
Nice info...
Thnk u so much..
Also, turning down your brightness may help and sit up straight, for digestion.
i had no idea about the 20-20-20 and eye glasses !
thanks a lot
I don't know, look up the specs for your model on the Internet. Most new stuff uses LED, but not all of it.
Also consider using "Stylish" addon for Firefox, with "Blackify" style. It will make all of the Internet looks like white-and-gold-on-black, but you can customize the background color a little (mine is very very dark green), and it will end up lowering stress on the eyes.
As side-effect, everything will look very spartan and some buttons will not be visible. Thats the price I pay.
Good tips! Thanks for chiming in. Switching to a light on dark web experience is an interesting one...I'll give it a try.
Too good tips
how does a 5k retina display from the imacs compare to those monitors mentioned here?
Specially for when it comes to reading documents
Let me know how it goes!
God bless you
Hello Ms,
I am a computer Programmer and now I want to your help.
Yesterday my doctor said I have Computer Vision Syndrome(CVS) and she told me that I never treatment it any more my eyes looks like red (bloody eye) please help me how can I treatment than sickness.
I look forward your answer...
Thanks a lot!!!
Will you please give me link to blue light protecting glasses
your just get an adapter that does from your monitor to your dell screen (forgot the cord specs) then change the settings in system preferences
also for those that have glasses you can get special filters for them and you can stay a whole day with any probs. but Only with a prescription
Hey you know I do have a UV FILTER glass screen on my monitor which really helps me. My friends have all got eye problem (wearing glasses) and they are shocked that that i'M without them being one sitting in front the computer for the longest hours ! Thanks UV filter !
Use a plus lens, for close work.
Is eye strain from monitor can give double vision problem? If not maybe i got sign of stroke
I have a Bratz CRT TV, is it right that CRT tubes are worse for the eyes than LCD?
and no I won't give up on my 1980's school class room flourecent lighting fixture tubes
my monitor on my laptop (4:3 LCD) is around 20 inches away from me.
Also palming your eyes during breaks helps
-sleep
-avoid using electronics
-ICE,apply a frozen bottle on ur closed eyes for a few secs
Flux is a good program that adjusts screen colour according to the daytime.
Yep, I don't see why not. The glasses seem to have a *slight* magnification, but I don't think it's enough to affect you're experience. Otherwise, you can order prescription Gunnars from their website.
Hi! Sharon I have one question I bought airsoft gun and it came with gunner glasses can I use it to use computer? Thanks
What to do for a فيديو
Affects of Monochromic screen, please.
The brightness and contrast of the monitor should be set to match ambient lighting levels too.
Will any computer glass work like from cool winks
How do you get the mac setup on a DELL??????

How does the lamp helps? Just wondering.
There's a high pitched noise at various points in this video when she's talking.

Hi.. The eye glasses are all in yellow color? I wish they make it blue color more nice
did anyone else hear a high beep that went on 4 the rest of the vid? that made my headache worse :(
MY brother used to have issues with his eyes. He was always complaining about eye strain and blurry vision. I heard it a lot because he attends college for computers, but his teacher recommended Wivitz vision to him. I'm so grateful for that teacher. Mostly because I Don't have to hear his whiney S$*# anymore LOL! (Go Google Wivitz)
Rusty Demonic HMMMMM I DUNNO? IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT RELIEF FROM EYE STRAIN YOU HAVE TO FIX YOUR EYES. IF YOUR'RE TIRED OF EYE STRAIN YOU SHOULD TRY WIVITZ 20-20 VISION (I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT'S CALLED, GOOGLE IT). IF YOU WANT BETTER VISION OR NOT TO WEAR GLASSES ANYMORE YOU SHOULD TRY IT.

Did you ever find a way of reducing the headaches as well as eye strain? I feel the exact same way
well u r right , i go tpain in my eyes all day cuz of IT
I am almost blind and the Night Shift mode on a moon and night light mode on a PC have been a godsend. These produce a pleasurable experience When you crank it up to the max warmth setting. There is a color filter in the accessibility settings, which allows me to make the effort even stronger.
can you please stop using emojis like that . I became autistic while reading your comment
I have spent months researching treating bad sight naturally and found an awesome resource at great gazer fix (look it up on google)
I CAN'T BECOME A PRO WITH THESE HEADACHE
Very nice look at 2:04
Dell branded monter and a mac mini/pro
Seems like I can't post links here, but if you Google either ones, the downloads links should show up. They're on Download.com, too.
Eye strain is only for IPS screen and WVA, other type don't make much eye strain, but LG were hiring people to ban those words that telling the problem of IPS screen.
The other type of eye strain could be caused by PWM, but this won't make you feel much eye strain, this won't make you can't sleep.
Cool.... 😍
Thanks this will help me with 8 grade stuff for me
Blue light?
*Does Anti-glare Screen helps ?*
Yes, a bit
mac mini?
Hi I get headache starring at screen and when I move my muscles near that ache that ache goes away. What is it? Is it safe??
daily running atleast 1km helps, increase blood flow , it happen because of too much sitting and lack of physical work , so you have to take balance diet and daily exercise , and please prefer music befor night or evening time it give you best sleep .
Is this cause by lot of use of cell phone ??? Which type of glasses we wear??? Please kindly tell me that recent 2 days I doesn't focusing on the book words and I have little headache . I use lot of cell phone for studies so I have computer vision syndrome ??? Kindly answers my question I am waiting for ur answer.
She has a mac mini or a mac pro
Probably she has the Mac Pro, and you can connect other monitors to the Mac Pro.
Otherwise, she would have a Hackintosh. ( a hacked version of Mac OS x which is available for other computers than mac's )
Nice Mac pro beautiful
It's a dell monitor.. Do you think Apple products can only take/use other Apple products?? It's still a computer, It will work whatever monitors you have even your 42" TV. As long you have the right connectors.
yeah
dayyyyyyym!
but do i look thr yellow glass or its just yellow glasses bro witch means i will look at the monitor like i got no glasses ...kek?! that is the question ?!

Does anyone else feel eye strain and slight headaches when at work or a store?
I do. Flourescent lights are terrible for my eyes. The lights at work are terrible and I usually avoid stores like Old Navy that have harsh lights. The lights make my eyes bloodshot within minutes
So to avoid glasses i will have to wear a glass with no number lol
My eye is still itchy🙁🙁🙁
Great tips.! thanks ...♥‿♥
