Any tips on avoiding eye strain ? I find it hard to focus on objects that are far away after working non stop online.
 


I went to the optician about this.

He said I had "dry eye" - a small side effect of lasik.

He told me to take really regular breaks, focusing on something far away (out of the window).

He also gave me some eye drops to try, they are nice, but I often forget to use them.

Try the breaks thing, if it still happens, go to the optician.
 
Working with computers for hours has made my vision weak too. I just need to wash off with cold water once every hour. I think that would do it.
 
Thanks for the F.Lux suggestion, just installed it and gonna give it a try
 
I'm no optician but I sometimes notice similar affects when working from my desktop for a few hours and then using my smaller phone which requires a different focus.

Intuitively it feels like my eyes remain adjusted to looking at a screen even after I'm no longer looking at a screen hence the blurryness which occurs.

The regular breaks and looking out of the window far away are good advice.
 
Flux. I hate using computers without it. I'm surprised companies don't install it for all data entry jobs.
 
GUNNAR glasses, or f.lux.

Regardless of your choice, you will have to put up with staring at an unpleasant orange screen all day from now on.
 
I was getting blurry vision when I wore my regular glasses to correct nearsightedness in front of the computer all day. Switching to reading glasses made it much better.
