Square eyes

By comedybreak - 30/10/2011 16:31 - United States

Today, my doctor told me that the reason I'm losing my eyesight is because I'm straining my eyes, and that the best thing for me to do is to limit my time in front of computers. I spent years in college to get my current job which involves sitting in front of computers. FML

They make special yellow tinted glasses for that tell your doctor, he is a ******* retard. They are generally used by pro gamers

Don't worry op we're very close to the technological singularity you'll have cool bionic eyes and a new bionic ass (it hurts to sit all day) in no time!

I'm pretty sure Technological Singularity means we'll all die. I don't think robots would want to be slaves.

I think you've been watching too many movies... I never said anything about sentient machines.

17 - I don't think that's what Kurzweil was getting at . . .

Weird, I've been on the computer 24/7 since I was 6 (almost literally, I have no life...) and I have 20/20 vision. Buy a decent monitor and leave the brightness down, and stop using those darn CRT's...

yeah my optomitrist actually said TVs and monitors cant permanently damage your eyes... cough sounds like your doc lied

Wow. You don't sleep? You must be a robot, in which case eye sight deterioration would never be an issue.

Logical thing to do: Blog it out on your computer.

I'm sorry. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome a month before I graduated with an animation degree. Life is cruel :(

Do the Yoga! Strengthen the wrists with inversions and shoulder stands. Stretch them back and forward daily. Keep them in motion with new patterns. Also eat non-inflammatory foods and eat less of the ones that aid inflammation.

Get flux. Just google it it's the first thing that comes up and it can help prevent eyestrain

I'm going through something similar. Have your desk ergonomically adjusted at work. Wear your glasses anytime you read. In your spare time, try not to use your computer, laptop, tablet, TV, any electronic item with a screen. Sorry to say this, but it's a lifestyle change.

I've got a similar problem. I got a doctorate in Masturbation. I wrote the seminal work definitively proving that it doesn't cause blindness. Ironic, huh?

There are special glasses that help out people like OP. They filter out the blue at the end of the spectrum. Some people have to focus harder then others to see the color so the glasses either focus for you or omit that color. It's a specific wavelength so it doesn't filter all the blue colors just the one that people have problems focusing on.
