Do you late night players find that your eyes are too irritated to wear those contacts while staring at the computer for hours on end? Did you know that Computer Vision Syndrome can start at any age?
It is healthy to take a break and look across the room every 20 minutes for 20 seconds to help the eye from straining.
Remember to blink, blink, blink.
You may even need an eye exam.

I believe this more or less belongs in the health forum. You will probably get more responses there.... *moving thread*

Your warning is indeed something to heed, quo. I've never heard of the condition up until now, but when you think about it it does make sense. But, it is only a temporary condition. The average gamer blinks only 7 times a minute, as compared to the normal 16-20 times. Lack of blinking can result in eye strain, among other things, so it is good to look away for a while after staring at a screen for a while. I would say do it after less than twenty minutes, though.

PS. Really, thank you, for I really didn't know about this and it's good to get gamer and heavy computer user health advice whenever possible.

I've never actually heard of it, but it makes sense. I guess I should look around more often. What are the repercussions of the syndrome?

I stare at the computer basically almost all day, when I'm not in school. Although I've never found myself straining my eyes.

I remember hearing this before (likely from David). It's a good reminder though. I often forget to look away.

I've heard of this before, didn't know that "Computer Vision Syndrome" is the name. It is common sense...why would someone just stare into a computer screen for hours not knowing it can damage your eyes? I appreciate the heads up Quo...now my question to you is...could this condition potentially blind a person? *looks away from computer*

I knew this happened, but I didn't know there was a name for it! It's good to have a reminder every once in a while, thanks!
(Also, it's kinda cool how it looks like the room moves up after you play Guitar Hero for a while!)

My optometrist tells me to let my eyes wander across the room or even outside every once in a while to avoid eye strain. I don't think I've ever experienced eye strain unless I'm ridiculously tired and shouldn't be reading anything anyways. I usually get up from the computer once in a while or I look at my fish, my parakeet, out the window, in the mirror, etc. frequently. I guess it helps to have interesting things in the room with you...

I stare at the computer for eight hours a day

Right now I'm not wearing my contacts, so I'm only six inches away from the screen
