How are you taking care of you eyes?

Women say they love mens eyes. So you have to work those out at the gym as well.

I do eyelid lifts and eye rolls. 3 sets of 20 6 days a week with a rest day on Sunday.

You can do these while on the treadmill and doing other excercise to increase efficiency.

You can also mix in some beta carotene into your protein shake to really maximize the eye pump.

I was having huge problems with eyesight strain. Just after an hour of computer use I would see blurry, shadows, double, light sensitivity, etc. I was even thinking about changing my profession. I tried many things like blue light filters, eye drops, improved refresh rates, max-hardware-brightness with reduced software-brightness, different light bulbs, eInk, orange glasses, red light therapy, larger monitor farther away, etc.

NOW I AM FINE. The magic solution for me was to ask for intermediate-distance computer glasses. These were supposed to be for short/intermediate distance only. However, after a single day of usage, my eyes adapted to this depowered version of my formula and I never again used the regular glasses. I see 20/20 far with the intermediate distance eyeglasses. This strongly suggest that I was over-prescribed for years and now I feel so much better.

Summary: Tell your optometrist that you want intermediate distance eye glasses because you spend many hours in front of the computer. It _could_ make a great difference for your life as it did for mine.

Since march of this year I stopped following my eye doctor's advice ("wear your glasses as much as possible otherwise your brain gets lazy", which is proven BS) and looked into endmyopia (i think i even read about it on HN), as I was getting into the risk zone for retinal detachment (6 diopters), which can lead to blindness.

To sum it up: reduce the amount of near-work you do (looking at your monitor, smartphone, books, etc) and, if you already have glasses, use glasses with a reduced prescription or no glasses for near-work.

With these rules I've managed to go from -5.5/-6 to -3.5/-3.75 in just these 9 months. And that's with me still spending 12h a day on my computer.

Pro tip: you can get very cheap (as little as $3) myopia glasses from aliexpress or a bit more expensive zenni optical. So there's really no big barrier to entry.

Side note: Lasik only cures the symptom of bad vision (just like glasses), but not the cause (elongated eyeball, which is what increases the likelihood of retinal detachment). If you don't change your habits after lasik, chances are you will need glasses again a couple years later as your eyeball further elongates, see: 35% are above 0.5 diopters again just 3 years after lasik https://bjo.bmj.com/content/103/4/565.abstract 58% are above 1 diopter again after 7 to 8 years. https://www.proquest.com/openview/722546068e4b0c9c1d3acba7e3...

I recommend you read more on endmyopia.org to learn about the scientific background and the eye biology behind it. But what I summed up above should easily get you started though and in just a couple of months you should notice improvements in your eyesight (you can test it at home by printing a Snellen eye chart).

Finally going to the eye doctor is no longer frustrating because my eyes are improving instead of getting worse year by year :)

I've been eating pineapple in the last few weeks to see if it gets rid of my eye floaters: https://www.benjamineye.com/blog/eye-floaters/

> Three months later, out of 120 subjects in the first group (1 slice), only 35 still experienced eye floaters, an improvement of 70.8%. In the second group, only 19 participants still saw floaters, an improvement of 72.8%

> How does it work? Scientists believe that enzymes in the pineapple can decompose extracellular substances that cause the formation of microscopic fibers. Apparently, these same enzymes can absorb free radicals leading to the degradation of hyaluronic acid.

When I told my optometrist that I was a software developer he took me into this office and showed me his computer setup. Basically, he was a huge proponent of using massive TV screens in place of smaller computer monitors as it was so much easier on the eye.

I'm typing this on my machine connected to a 55" 4k TV that's about 33" away from my face. Given how inexpensive 4k TVs are compared to monitors and how well they work now it's an easy investment.

As someone who suffers from recurrent corneal erosion (scratches on cornea, that are painful as hell) I incorporated a set of steps to manage this condition.

1. Daily eyelid hygiene - using special wipes to get the leftover from your eyelashes, to unblock Meibomian glands. It can dramatically improve how your eye is moistened. People who suffer from dry eye syndrome should at least try it.

2. Using eye drops daily - whenever I see them or I need them.

3. (Something that is specific to recurrent corneal erosion). I put some ointment/gel when I go to bed. As most of recurrent corneal erosion events happen during the night, it is crucial to be protected when you sleep.

Counter anecdata. I'm 39, right eye slightly myopic since I was a kid. Never needed glasses. Always prefered using the computer in the dark since when I was a teen and had an NEC MultiSync CRT monitor. My eyes are still OK as far as I can tell.

Whenever I see a mountain lately, I run to the top of it so I can sing the praises of my 31.5-inch Dell UP3218K 7680 x 4320 8K computer monitor.

I'm a software engineer by trade, so I am looking at code all day long, plus lots of web searching and other text-heavy computer use.

I thought the LG UltraFine 5K and Apple XDR Pro Display were "good enough for my eyes" since I couldn't see the pixels.

Compared to the XDR (same size) the text on the 8K screen is WAY WAY sharper. Even though I thought the 218ppi XDR (basically same as 27" 5K monitor) was crisp before I saw the 280ppi Dell, I immediately realized it totally wasn't.

I can feel the eye strain difference, too. The lower res monitor is just fuzzy. I can't see the pixels individually, but when I slide my chair from the Linux box with the 8K to my Mac with the lower-PPI 5K display (sold the pricy XDR immediately after seeing the 8K panel next to it), I can see the fuzziness at the edges of text.

So I am kicking myself for not getting this much earlier. The Dell is ancient, came out years ago and requires 2 DisplayPort cables.

I am not an ophthalmologist so I can't speak to what this will mean for my long-term eye health, but I can say that my eyes are significantly less tired at the end of the day, and I never have to use the computer glasses I bought a couple years ago (the kind that are like reading glasses but for a little farther distance). I was using those a lot before, since my middle-aged eyes are indeed deteriorating.

BTW, for a few weeks I had the 8K Dell and the 6K Apple displays side by side. They are the same physical size, and the text was just about exactly the same size. Most of the people I asked to come look at them agreed the 8K display "looked better" or "looked sharper".

There is also the factor of Linux vs Mac font rendering. I am using Pop OS with 200% UI scaling on the Linux. I kinda wanted to compare them side by side in macOS, but I don't have any Macs that can drive the weird 2-cable Dell. So that could also be part of the difference, but I think it is basically just that 280ppi is way, way better than 208ppi.

My optometrist suggested that about every 20-30 minutes or so I should try and pick out something on the horizon or at least several yards away and focus my eyes on it.

Sitting so close to the screen it makes sense, and the “stretch” you feel when focusing on something close and then far away has really decreased my eye strain.

A question to the other comments and advice put here: Is the surge in blinding LED car headlamps going to accelerate any existing issues, or result in issues further down the road? I have no problem seeing at night, or around well-lit areas of town, but these new headlights? They are too bright and I have difficulty seeing in some cases. I've asked other people (younger, older) and they have all noticed it as well. It's given me concern for my, rather our, eyesight in the future if this persists.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the blue light filtering glasses? Is it snake oil or does it actually work?

My eyes aren’t great anyways, and I fear for the beating they are taking due to my proclivity to stare at a monitor hours on end.

When working from home, using a projector on a wall rather than a monitor. Farther focusing distance, and reflected light rather than a direct light source.

I suggest you exploit your reality as a cybernetic entity:

-- frequently check if your reading (etc.) is comfortable. If it is not, adjust your position, fix your environment etc.

(As opposed to those who strain themselves intensively or prolongedly out of inattention. You check your posture, your inner states, your state in general: you also keep a watchdog that your eye comfort is given.)

Edit: like for the rest, memory of the triggers for awareness of the indirect causes. Some factors have effects only after time, and they are of course more dangerous. Local attention is the base ("comfortable now" is the first requirement); practices that strain you with effect hours later can still be identified; the less evident factors could be a concern but they will probably gain relevance only if the former basics (avoiding causes for immediate and recent impact) are observed.

I don't. I just upgrade my prescription as my eyes worsen. You're supposed to take eyesight breaks to rest and refocus your eyes. You're also supposed to sleep 8 hours a day, eat three balanced meals, and pee standing up. I don't give a shit what the man says. I make my own rules.

If I'm going to use the monitor and there is not enough light in the room, I switch on a desk lamp and brighten the general area of the monitor. That way my eyes don't get strained that much.

This technique helped me a lot.

I also use a 32" 4K display at 125-150% scale so, fonts are nice and big.

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion

I'm about 2 feet from a 34" 2K monitor from about 6:30 AM until 8:00 PM every day, with brief breaks for meals and bio.

I got Lasik a little over two months ago. Prior to that, I had severe myopia - 20/400 or so in both eyes. Corrected with glasses, my eyesight was 20/15.

I'm still in the blurry phase of healing, so anything past about 20 feet is about the same level of blurry. Making out license plates from the car ahead is possible if I squint just a little if they're over two car lengths away.

Even before Lasik, once that 8:00 PM time hits, I depart from all digital screens entirely. I try to remember to do the 20/20/20 rule, but I mostly forget.

As a teenager, nothing, and I ended up short sighted as a consequence of squinting at flickering CRT displays for hours.. oops.

As an adult, a lot! I go each year for a test that includes a extended 3D scan of my retinas. I always have glasses that match my prescription. I have "night shift"/reduced-blue mode turned on my computer and phone almost permanently to reduce eye strain and reduce the chemical effects later in the day. I wear sunglasses whenever I feel eye strain outdoors, even if it's winter. I increase font sizes on sites where it now, post 40, feels necessary (such as HN). This all seems to be working well so far.

I bought some cheap prescription[1] glasses ($20) just for computer use. They put optical infinity at around the distance to my monitor (~60 cm)[2], which keeps my ciliary muscles fully relaxed. It's completely fixed the soreness I'd feel in my eyes at the end of the day. I highly recommend it.

[1]: For those wondering, the calculation for required SPH is your_prescribed_SPH + (1/desired_distance). If you don't already wear glasses, then it's just (1/desired_distance).

It cannot hurt to take more breaks from desk work. Go for a walk. I do not know if that will help your eyes, but it will certainly help other parts of your body and your mind. It's important to unplug, de-stress, and be active.

If you cannot justify a true break, think about work problems while walking. Plan out what you will do when you get back to the desk. When you return, do it without disruption. Don't check email or messages. I find this to be an effective way of working.

One of the main points would be to reduce eye strain during the time you use the monitor:

- most important make sure the light conditions in your room are good, no light source directly shining on the monitor, no light source directly shining from behind the monitor. That can be hard or even outright impossible to setup in some rooms, most smaller companies I had been in get this wrong. Worst the perfect desk positioning might change depending on the time of the year you are in, due to changing angles of the sun (at least in more northern countries). For me as a slightly more then usual light sensitive person this is probably the biggest point).

- then proper monitor setup

- choose readable font sizes

- make sure your font/UI is rendered clear (which in case of wayland + non scarlar scaling is often not given, it's an health issue and completely ridiculous)

- blink, from time to time move your eys focus thinks far away and then think close away

- drink enough and eat healthy, it can affect tear production, which can affect the health of your eyes

- make sure the air is not too dry (in winter) if you have issues with tear production

20/20/20 when ever I particularly need to be corrective.

Get up and go for a walk helps too.

Keep monitor brightness around a white paper in whatever ambient light. Sometimes this requires dropping brightness to 0 and then decreasing contrast/sharpness.

Wear sunglasses after several hours of monitor use. Sometimes I’ll put a hat on to block the overhead lights, too. (Work in a shared/undimmable work area.)

It helps to understand the mechanism your eyes use to focus. For eyes with normal vision, they are at their most relaxed when you are looking far away and your lens is at infinity focus. When you look at something close up, a muscle pulls on your lens to shift the focus point closer. (Additionally, as you get older, your lens gets harder, so it takes more pull to get it to focus closer , and you may need reading glasses once you can no longer focus as close up.) If you do close work all day, that muscle will be pulling all day, hence the recommendation to look at something far away every once in a while to give it the opportunity to relax.

What I did was to get a pair of computer glasses. I measured how far away I usually keep my monitors, and I took that information to my optometrist. She put the eye chart at that distance and we went through all the questions (is A better, or B?) to figure out the prescription. Now, when I'm at the computer, my eyes are at the same relaxed focus that they would normally be at for faraway things, and the computer glasses are providing the focus adjustment for close up.

I learned one other thing as well. If you have progressive lenses, only the small "intermediate" zone in the middle of the lens is really good for computer use. The top "far" zone makes your eyes work hard to focus close up, and the bottom "close" zone is generally focused too close for the computer screen. The problem is that you can't really scan well across the screen with your eyes while wearing progressives -- instead, you have to turn your head to keep the screen in that intermediate zone, which started to give me neck trouble. The computer glasses took care of that as well, since the whole lens is at the correct focus for the computer screen and you can scan with your eyes instead of your head.

One last thing. If you do hobbies or work that is really close up, I would recommend an Optivisor or a jeweler's loupe. I used to be able to do fine soldering without one, but I'm in my mid-30s now, and it really helps. And check the ergonomics for your setup. A high bench and a low chair, plus a Optivisor or a loupe, is way easier on the eyes and neck than a high chair and a low bench, which will make you crane your neck to get it closer to the work, and then strain your eyes from focusing so close. Look at a watchmaker at their bench for an example. There are plenty of watchmakers who work on tiny little parts into their 60s and 70s without messing up their vision.

People will say that glasses with blue light filters are placebo, but my eyes have been feeling a lot less tired since I got mine.

I have been diagnosed with Keratoconus this year. I’ve been seeing double with each eye independently for 6 years or so and every other doctor that saw me before my current one dismissed it. Gets worse at night so when I drive I see 2 sets of street lights, one is kind of a ghost. The red overlaps with the yellow, yellow with green, and then I see a floating green circle in the air. Overall my brain can process this just fine but it gets tough to read text at night on a screen.

There is a collagen cross linking treatment that I’m considering, but I’m somewhat scared of it. It almost sounds like putting varnish on my eyes to make them harder. I’ve read of people getting hazy view after the treatment and there is nothing I would hate more.

My hobbies are racing cars and tennis, both need very good vision.

Other than that my prescription is not so bad, -1.75/-1.5 but the double vision drives me nuts.

I don’t know what I’ll do yet.

I switched monitors to LG and they have reader mode. I turned that on and it took care of 90% of my eye strain attacks.

Another things mentioned here that help: use reduced lenses corrected for work, work next to a window and take a look at the passing dog once in a while, take daily walks and focus on looking at something far away.

I've used Wokrave for many years which forces me to take regular breaks. Sometimes it can be annoying when it interrupts your flow, but as far as I'm concerned my eyes are worth a bit of annoyance.

https://workrave.en.softonic.com/

I try the 20/20/20 thing - every 20 mins, spends 20 seconds looking at something 20ft+ away.

I wear sun glasses outside when it is even moderate bright.

I take lutein, "the eye vitamin."

I keep pretty far from my monitor and its elevation keeps my head in a neutral position.

I also have semi-regular exams at a retina specialist to monitor some thinning.

Loosely related, the MacBook Pro 2021 laptop display uses PWM [1], which is said to cause more eye fatigue. Does anyone know more about this? How much does it affect a typical user? Or are there ways to mitigate this?

PWM is also present on iPads and smartphones, but the laptop screen is something that is used more often and for longer periods of time; which is why I'm primarily interested in PWM in laptops.

[1]: "Like on the iPad Pro's Mini-LED screen, we can detect constant PWM flickering at all brightness levels.", https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-14-2021-M1-P...

"Taking care" implies preventing long term effects, besides for protective and sun glasses there is not much you can do.

As for preventing fatigue or strain then short breaks are good not only for your eyes but also your back or neck.

In short - use eyes in as wide range as possible.

If working with screens a lot, I first make sure they are properly balanced (brightness/contrast/color) for the ambient light, so eyes don't receive too much energy off the screen.

Then distance it, preferrably farther than arm length, with something visible behind the monitor (not just a wall of screen). This way I can direct eyes farther away to relax.

Also good quality sleep, which at times is very much a non-trivial task.

Ah, the most critical, and both hardest and easiest task - taking breaks to give eyes and mind some rest. Advice that all parents give to kids, yet often fail to follow themselves...

Dasung e-ink monitor. Fixed my headaches by using it for reading/coding work.

Has anybody used the method to undo myopia at Getting Stronger: https://gettingstronger.org/2010/07/improve-eyesight-and-thr... ?

It suggests to read at an inch or two past comfortable for a few hours a day. At first it seemed too good to be true, but not completely implausible. I'm curious if anyone has tried or had luck with it.

What I used to do, as someone who gamed heavily since middle school (I’m nearly 50):

- Go outside at least once a day (no later than lunch) and get and get a good deal of sunlight. Without glasses.

Preferably more than once a day.

- Take frequent breaks away. - Crank up the lights.

I can still function and read without glasses, though Covid has taken a toll (eyesight used to be 20/30, until covid; probably more like 30/40 now).

I have a blue light filter, it's advised when spending a lot of time at a screen.

I used to have headaches sometimes, but that disappeared with it.

I prefer to use a desktop setup with LCD monitors over an arm's length away. I noticed that with laptops, the screen was too close and I started needing reading glasses to see the display clearly.

I try to spend some time outdoors, looking into the distance. Natural light and focusing on distant objects to counteract the tendency to short-sightedness.

Convergence exercises. Had nasty headaches last year and difficulty focusing on text after a couple of hours on the computer, turns out my eyesight had less than perfect convergence. Did the exercises for some months, worked wonders. Still do them every now and then.

https://phys.org/news/2018-08-chemists-blue.html you can reduce blue light with Settings>>Display>>Night light settings>>Strength

- 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break from the screen and focus on something 20 feet away

- Bias lighting behind the monitor

- Blue light and anti-glare glasses while working

- Little to no computer on the weekend

- Limit phone use by removing addictive apps

Not a cure but it helps a lot.

I'm using the app to protect eyes on my PC. https://beforedo.com/post/detail/?pid=20

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift_(software)

Also, zooming the websites (can't comfortably read HN below 150%).

Microwaveable Warm compress , you can get these for as low as $10 . Pop them in microwave for 20 seconds and put them on the eyes for a few minutes daily . Helps with proper functioning of tear glands.

Mine are in terrible shape, I blame screens and tiny fonts. For example I read the title of this article as "How are you taking care of you eyes?" instead of "your eyes" ;-)

I don't smoke or drink and wear sunglasses when in bright sunshine. Hopefully it's enough. My grandfather had cataracts but this was probably cause by smoking and sunshine.

Some non-monitor things that are affecting my eyes:

-clenching or jutting jaw

-furrowing brow

-sleeping on one side consistently, without upper body elevated

-not breathing freely/ab tension

Use nightlight pretty much on everything the whole day.

When you do this, you will need to dim the ambient light.

I now work for hours without feeling tired.

Keep eyeglass prescription up to date, take fish oil, warm compresses on eyes when sore, preservative free eye drops.

30yo, healthy eyes. Never had to do anything. I'm working with my laptop on a stand and a keyboard in front.

I look away from the monitor as often as I remember to and focus out the window on a point in the distance.

Try to focus on something in the distance, 200m+ away every few hours.

Wear sunglasses with polarised lenses.

I have evaporative dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). In short, my tears evaporate too fast because my eyelids don't produce enough of the lipid part of tears.

I used to have occasional symptoms of dry eyes without knowing what it was. It all changed after I got LASEK (a bit different from LASIK, but the ultimate goal is the same) about 2 years ago. It's not clear whether LASEK contributed to my condition, or whether it was a coincidence, but my life changed afterwards.

I used to have days when I was physically unable to look at a computer screen, due to the discomfort (burning sensation) and photophobia (light from the screen would look really uncomfortable).

Right now I've adjusted my life and equipment to make living and work more bearable/comfortable. I also got a bit of medical advice/help.

Posting a short summary of what helped and what didn't, in case someone else will find it useful. I've tried so many things, so I might have omitted something.

What helped:

- Changing displays: now I'm using BenQ EL2870U (I went through multiple "eye-care" and non-eye-care displays before I settled on this one). I'm using low-blue-light configuration in the display as well as in macOS. I'm really sensitive to displays with PWM (e.g. 16" MBP). On my OnePlus 7T Pro I switched to DC dimming, which seemed to help too.

- NuLids (https://nulids.com/). It's a "massager" for the eyelids, which stimulates meibomian glands and cleans the eye lids. Both the device and the tips (I boil them and reuse them several times) are a bit pricey but I did feel the difference.

- Sleep position: make sure your eyes aren't pressing on the pillow, as this can prevent them from closing or create unnecessary pressure on the eye/eyelids.

- E-Ink displays: these are good to look at, but hard to do useful work on due to poor refresh rate. I'm using them for reading only (I have Dasung 13.3" monitor and Boox Max Lumi).

- Natural light in the room. There seems to be something about natural light that makes my eyes feel more comfortable when in front of a screen.

- Preservative-free eye drops targeting the lipid tear part (only for short-term relief, but sometimes that's needed).

Not sure whether it helped:

- IRPL (E-Eye). I'll have the 4th treatment soon, but it's hard too judge this because of other parallel things I'm doing (like NuLids). My eyes feel quite good for several hours after a treatment, but then they're back to the usual state.

- Diet (Omega 3, Vitamin A, vegetables, etc)

What didn't help:

- Optimel Manuka Honey Eye Drops/Gel. Some people said that these were revolutionary for them, but my eyes at first felt better and then I got horrible swelling and redness.

- Blue light glasses (I've tried ~10 different brands, including the more expensive and "science-based" ones (Gunnar, BLUblox).

What I want to try:

- Omega 3 supplements with higher EPA/DHA ratio (like PRN Dry Eye Omega)

- Autologous serum eye drops. I can't find anyone who can produce them in my country, but I'm thinking about getting them from abroad.

- Computer glasses for relaxing eye muscles (as mentioned in other comments).

I've had eyesight issues since early childhood (strabismus, ocular dominance). This seriously hindered my efforts in basketball during middle school and also later on -- but I loved books and was good in writing and thus couldn't stay off computers, which resulted in years of constant eye strain problems.

I bought an IPS monitor when they were really expensive, and ate an insane amount of carrots, both raw and cooked. This helped, but the strain was still there, occasionally accompanied by mild headaches.

Eventually, at an age of 30+, I decided to give up full time desk work (also because I was anxious about "sacrificing my body to the computer"). Now I'm a forestry worker on most days: avoiding logging, but cutting brush and planting trees. 5-7 hours in the woods almost every day, currently surrounded by lots of snow and the trees' green palette (which is good for the eyes, isn't it?). Hacking and other creative computer work has become something that I do on the side when I have time or physical/mental energy, or when I wish and manage to escape from our kids.

Am I happier? It's sometimes difficult to switch to mental work from physical labor, staying motivated in my mental pursuits etc. The pay would be poor to most standards. But all in all -- happier, hell yes! Eyestrain is gone completely. Heck, I've occasionally totally forgotten to put glasses on while driving a car, which is something I'd noticed right away during the office work days. I haven't tested my eyesight for years, but I do feel there has been a remarkable change to the better. I happened to shoot some hoops just this weekend after more than a year, and it was an absolute joy: indoor lighting of the court didn't annoy my eyes as it usually does (this used to be a major issue when I was younger), and I made shots with a surprisingly good percentage in spite of not wearing contact lenses.

It's also important to note that my eating habits have probably changed quite a bit since middle school / early to late 20s. I've always loved vegetables, but for now, I've almost completely cut of all processed sweets: cocoa, chocolate, you name it. All the bad stuff I used to love -- but, as cocoa contains caffeine, it's actually bringing fluids out of the body, doesn't it? Based on this, I occasionally think that a big part of my earlier eyestrain issues might have been too big an amount of cocoa-based "foods". Dehydration, basically. Haven't done any research on that, though, so it might as well be BS.

All in all: we're animals from nature, so I suppose the best one could do to his or her eyes is try to spend as much time outdoors (or in wilderness, if you ever can) as possible. And drink a lot of plain water, this also seems to have a positive influence. Or, if you're lucky enough to have other issues with your life as well (like I did), you may also consider changing your job for something that has the "no eyestrain" batteries included by design. :)
