Monitors and vision problems

thanks for the replys so far. I don't have macular degeneration, but I may have some sort of cone degeneration, which is bad enough. Or maybe I just fried my retina and it needs a break. Gonna see the doc ASAP.

Maybe you've just got "floaters"... a common affliction of aging.
 
Here's what's worked for me the past few years - in home office, anyway:

  • [*]A 19" Dell Trinitron chosen back in Feb 2000 for its "best of" rating for clarity of print over graphics.

    [*]Using a soft dove gray background with a dark burgundy print; but being a Texas Ex, the too-similiar-to-Aggie Maroon started buggin' me after a while.... :D Since then, a light cream background with a dark blue print has proven to be a very effective solution to the standard stark and glaring black on white.

    [*]Using full spectrum (overhead and/or task) lighting such as UltraLux or OTT-LITE.
 
Just grab your balls ...........and turn your head and cough!!!!! Thats what my eye doctor did to me. Hey wait a minute that has nothing to do with eyesight:eek:

Seriously I had the same problem and I went to 2 eye doctors and a Opthomologist. Basically they all told me to take a break every 20 minutes and try tou focus on objects outside (Because of the natural light)

Anyone know how to set the background colors in win XP so that it doesn't default to white?
