How To Take Care Of Eyes?

How should I care my eyes?

  • I use CRT monitor. And a computer professional. I work at least 6 hours a day staring the CRT and now i am feeling pain in my eyes. Should I opt for LCD?

  • Answer:

    I spend more than 9 hours on computer each day,and somedays I spent more than 12 hours, and here is the secret... the secret is all about (BRIGHTNESS & CONTRAST), after testing a lot of monitors, I recommend for CRT monitors that you adjust brightness=50% or less & the contrast= 80% or less, but in LCD monitors those number must be decreased, and I recommend 40% or less for brightness & 50% or less for contrast, and for sure that DEPEND on how much you care about your eyes to chose the best adjustmet for your monitor, but I really dont recommand more the those numbers and there is another something important I discovered, NEVER use computer if you are sleepy especially when you just woke and you still feel sleepy or haven't take enough sleep, cuz in this situation you will really feel that your eyes hurt you in about 10 minutes try those two hints and I hope that I helped you...

Hi, Yes the LCD screens are less brighter compared to CRTs and are better for eyes, but on a longer run, both can cause equal harm if you do not follow the steps below 1) Adjust the brightness of the screen to a level that your eye does not feel irritation. 2) Take a break for every 20 minutes, see different colors cooling colors like a Blue sky, a green tree etc., this can cause a soothing effect to your eyes.

I also work daily at computer, so it's best to change your CRT with LCD. I know that the colors are not the same and initially it's hard to adapt, but it's better for your eyes. It also may help to be aware that you should blink more often and rest your eyes at lest 5 minutes in an hour. Try to close them or look somewhere else, admire the view or what else pleases you.
