Medical Forum / General / Vision / January 2006bright colors
I have a problem looking at flat screen monitors -- the colors are too bright. When I adjust colors on the screen my eyes hurt less but I still get tired very fast ( after three or four minuts I have to stop ). My head and temples starts to ache. I spoke to my doctor about it -- he advised me to take vitamins: ocuvite, but it does not help much.... I dont have this problem with CRT computer monitors: I can work for hours without any major discomfort. I feel that I might need to speak to some other doctor other that eye doctor about this problem. Any suggestions? Thank you very much. themailbox0@lycos.com wrote in news:1136418660.099931.21790 @g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: > I have a problem looking at flat screen monitors -- the colors are too > bright.

Thank you very much. Turn down the brightness. Turn up room lights. Wear sun glasses. Bill -- Ferme le Bush > I have a problem looking at flat screen monitors -- the colors are too > bright.

Thank you very much. Your EYE doctor recommended vitamins?? Can't see how they would help. Try another eye doctor. If you haven't seen an eye doctor or optometrist yet then maybe this is what you should be doing. Maybe you're long-sighted or something. And obviously adjust the colours on your screen if you already know that it helps. Dom the doctor suggested ocuvite with lutein, which I tried but it does not help much. I am not long-sighted I am near sighted; I asked about reading and /or computer glasses but he said I am too young for that and that my eyes should be able to focus ( my glasses are strong: -5.00 ). I think my eyes were dilated but I am not sure... > the doctor suggested ocuvite with lutein, which I tried but it does not > help much.

I think my eyes were dilated but I am not sure... Ocuvite with lutein is a treatment for macular degeneration. It won't help with eye strain at all (as you've already found). Is it all flat screen monitors that give you a problem or just one that you use a lot? Another possibility is that your glasses are too strong. Dom all flat screens are bad for me including the flat screen TVs etc. I dont have this problem with older CRT monitors or TVs -- I can look at them for long time without getting tired. My current prescription is too strong: when I do close work I use old glasses that are -4.00. Maybe I need special glasses for computer only? will they help with colore overloading I expirince with flat monitors? thank you. |
