Guest LOLL Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 These monitors are supposed to be easier on the eyes. I find quite the opposite and not just eye strain but headache, mild nausea and mild dizziness. I have heard many people complain about adverse symtoms from these LCD monitors. Anyone else suffering? Any ideas on how to make viewing easier and healthful. These anti glare screens on the market are of no help.
Guest JS Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Re: LCD MONITOR EYE STRAIN Use Clear Type fonts, use the default resolution for your LCD. Also LCD monitors can have a brighter image, so setting the brightness down a notch or two may help.

These anti glare screens on the market are of no help. Take frequent breaks and if the problem persists visit an optometrist.

The only people who make that claim are those manufacturing an/or selling them.

Guest GO Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Re: LCD MONITOR EYE STRAIN I'm not a fan of LCD monitors myself but have to use one at work. It usually takes a bit of tweaking but I can get them so they don't bother my eyes. The two big factors for me is the the brightness/contrast and resolution. I don't like running at such a low resolution but I've found 1024x768 acceptable on the eyes. Nausea and dizziness are two symptoms I have not had from a monitor and it does not sound good. As someone else suggested you may want to check with an optometrist. LOLL wrote: > These monitors are supposed to be easier on the eyes.

These anti glare screens on the market are of no help. I use a PC 8+ hours a day and used to get eye strain/headaches. All that is now gone! My eye doctor suggested focusing on a distant object 3-4 times an hour. The eye focus lasts only 3-5 seconds and worked like a charm. It has also been suggested to get in the habit of blinking more or use eye drops (Thera Tears has no preservatives). Make sure there are no reflections on the monitor. Position the monitor height such that your eyes are at the top of the monitor. Good posture helps. My guess is that there are many PC users that abuse their eyes or take them for granted. An eye checkup is a good thing, and you can ask your doctor for more tips.

You are excersicing the muscles that stretch the lens when you focus on something in the distance, then something close up. Though chances are after 40ish you will need some glasses because the lense loses it's flexibility over time.
