Protect your eyes while staring at the computer

I just found this article and I knew some of these things, but forgot them. Maybe they help the hardcore gamers or the ones working on a PC.

"Perhaps when you were growing up, your parents limited the amount of television you watched because they thought it would hurt your eyes. It's only natural then that you warned your own children to not stare for hours on end at their computer monitors, tablets, and smartphones. So does staring at screens really harm one's eyes or is this an age-old myth. According to experts, staring at the computer, tablet, and smartphone screens will not permanently damage your eyesight. Doing so can cause some bothersome side effects, most notably computer vision syndrome (also called digital eye strain).

What is Computer Vision Syndrome?
About 83% of American adults use digital devices more than two hours a day, and 53.1% say they use two digital devices at the same time. Of course, digital technology exposure isn't limited to adults. Children use computers and other digital devices for playing the latest games, watching videos, learning at school, or doing homework. In fact, 72% of Americans say their children look at computer or tablet screens more than two hours a day.

Many adults and children experience eye discomfort and vision problems from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader, and cellphone use. The American Optometric Association says vision-related issues are the most prevalent type of health complaint among computer workers. Studies indicate 50-90% of computer users experience symptoms indicative of computer vision syndrome. Moreover, the level of discomfort appears to get worse the longer ones stares at a screen. The most common signs of Computer Vision Syndrome include:

1 Eyestrain
2 Headaches
3 Blurred vision
4 Dry eyes
5 Neck and shoulder pain

In children, additional symptoms include reduced attention span, poor behavior, and irritability, all of which are counterproductive to learning.

Prevention Tips
Often, the problem is not the screen itself but the immediate environment in which ones works.

1. Set up computer screens so they are in the correct position in relation to your eyes. The top of the screen should be in line with eye level and placed about 18-30 inches from where you're sitting.

2. Tilt the screen back slightly - about 10 to 15 degrees depending on individual preference. Maintaining this downward angle reduces the stress on eye muscles and also helps prevent glares from ceiling lights.

3. Balance the brightness of the computer screen to that of the room. Adjust desk lamps and window blinds so light does not shine directly on the screen. Glare screens can also eliminate this problem.

4. Clean your computer screen regularly to avoid static and dust buildup. This can obscure screen clarity and cause eye irritation.

5. To help prevent or alleviate existing dry eye, use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. Try lubricating eye drops before using the computer and throughout the day. Your eye doctor can recommend appropriate eye drops and may give you samples.

6 .Take the time to blink when you are looking at the screen. Doing so cleanses the eyes with naturally therapeutic fluids. In addition, follow the 20-20-20 rule by taking a 20-second break to view objects 20 feet away every 20 minutes."

Just wear sunglasses while you play idiot

Atwar is mostly green, so there's little blue light to worry about for our eyes. Except for those pesky mods.

I'm staring at my phone and computer at least 8 hours per day for the past 10 years, and my vision is perfect. Last I checked, I had 20/20, but I kind of fibbed it so its probably a little less
