hell, you're probably just not used to it enough.

at the rate i'm going, i'll be totally blind by the time i'm 30.


i spend quite a lot of time in front of the monitor and i find that the monitor itself could be a cause of pain.

i don't know the recommended amount (probably like ½ hour / day - something ridiculous) but i can tell you what you can do with the monitor.


first of all, fiddle with the brightness / contrast settings to see if that helps. could also be the color settings. now, if you're sitting too far or too close, your eyes will be affected too. another thing i heard somewhere and also found to be useful, is that if you tilt the screen downwards a little bit, that should be easier on the eyes (remember, the screen should still be on your eye level).

I spend like 10 hours a day on a pc,

Get an LCD monitor if you don't have one already. Your eyes will thank you

Try a monitor filter like this one if it really bothers you. I spend most every day in front of a screen, and I have no problem with close in vision, but started losing far vision at about 40. Maybe it was just old age, but who knows....

I think your eyes hurt when you look at a monitor for ages, because of the refresh rates or something, so try to increase the refresh rate of your monitor, or buy a TFT flat screen, because they dont flicker at all.
