Are screen traders at risk of eyesight problems ?

back problems..

my back kills...

trying to setup a reclining...system.. with montiors on arms that can come down with keyboard stand...
 
My eyesight went from 20/15 x 20/15 to 20/650 x 20/875 after looking at a screen for 20 years. Then I got my eyes lasered 8 years ago and I'm back to 20/15 x 20/15 and holding steady. Still don't need reading glasses. Smartest thing I ever did. Completely changed my life.

Anyone is an ophtalmologist here ?

I don't like the idea that staring at a screen 12 hours a day could be bad for my eyes. I have been doing this for 7 years, and it seems my eyes are not as good as they used to be.

Yes, the screen affects your eyes. My eye doctor asked me how long I spend in front of a computer. I did get special glasses which I now wear just for the computer, and it really helps.:cool:
 
And make sure its one that does not have an optical business. An MD should never attempt sell you sunglasses, but many OD's will. Most vision changes are genetic, based on the growing shape of your head around your eyeballs.

The good news is....your eyes start getting better after 40ish.
Go to a good Opthomologist regularly, and not just an Optometrist.

I also reccommend going to a higher end place for lenses, these discount Lenscrafter places use the cheapest materials and you get what you pay for. Zeiss Optics really know their stuff and only license a few labs to use their name.
 
So it does affect your eyesight ? So does any computer activity then I suppose. Are most people working on a computer at risk or is staring at the same thing worse than doing word processing or browsing ? I am definitely going to cut back now.

I haven't gotten my eye sight checked in 3 months, but it doesn't seem worse... it's still probably around 20/80- 20/200, and I wear glasses half the time now.

Not to a bitch or anything...

but I don't think reading forums in your free time is helping you much with your problem.

Well I used computers a lot since I was about 8. I'd play computer games for hours at a time, daily, for many years. I've been reading information online forever, I've probably read over 100 books in PDF format. None of that ever had an effect on my vision. Only microscalping of the order book and T&S killed my eyes.
