Does anyone else suffer from chronic headaches when using the computer? If so, what have you found works for you? I’ve tried the blue light glasses, and they don’t seem to help. Any suggestions?

This is a great idea! Maybe we can add a button to make this community dark as well?

My eye doctor had me get computer glasses. They don’t have the blue light thing. I’m not for sure what prescription or what he had done to them. But they were very helpful for me. So maybe talk with your eye doctor on different prescriptions for screen time.

Huh! I’ve only ever heard of blue light glasses for computer screens. I’ll have to mention that to my eye doctor next time, thanks!

Interesting I hadn’t seen or heard about prescription glasses like what you mentioned

I view everything through prescription trifocals. The middle lens reduces screen fatigue. I have a chronic headache all the time, but visual strain and fatigue definitely worsen it.

I have a laptop, but I rarely use it. For the most part, I use my desktop, and I make sure I’m seated far enough way and that it’s at the right angle. I could try to play around with the font size, thanks for the tip!

Do you have the blue light blocker turned on, on the computer itself? I keep it on 24/7 and keep the brightness more than halfway down. I’m a squinter but that solved some of it..

Can also suit up the computer itself.. a lil’ pricey but a business expense! https://www.amazon.com/s?k=blue+light+blocker+for+computer+monitor&crid=AEUGAVPCLUCZ&sprefix=blue+light+blocker%2Caps%2C180&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_3_18

My Humongous Sage Bush, not white sage, but used for cooking. Interesting fact: in Italy where I live we eat sage leaves soaked in tempura batter and then fried! YummmY

Just had MRI…UH I think they forgot to tell me how HOT I was going to get in there with all my hardware!!! I swear to God I thought they thought they were cooking a porkchop 🥩!!!! Fortunately they got enough of an image to show there is enough cerebral fluid running thru so I don’t need immediate surgery or myelogram!!!

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well and staying safe during the holiday season!
I am once again asking for your help on another article I’ve been working on (surprise surprise right?) I’ve had so much fun on the last two articles that you’ve helped me on, so I figured what better way to ring in the New Year than by writing a third?

I changed my browser setting to “dark” (you can do this for your whole computer too) and that seems to have helped.
