SciAm rolls out a new website and answers the question, can you go blind from your computer screen?
Their new site is worth surfing, whether you are a "silver surfer" (Boomer) or one of the "Millenials" born between 1980 and 1990. I was relieved to find that taking precautions, such as frequent breaks and cutting down on peripheral light can help combat eyestrain from the computer screen
Invest in one of today's nonglare computer screens, and don't be afraid to change your computer's brightness, contrast or text size, all of which will alleviate eye stress. Also, position your screen slightly lower than your eyes; the top of your monitor should be level with your eyebrows. For physiological problems, hit your doctor up for a pair of corrective lenses.
Finally, eliminate any glaring peripheral light. ToSource: sciam.com
But by far the simplest and best expert advice for eliminating eyestrain from any type of medium: take regular breaks. Go on, walk over to the water cooler, even if you aren't thirsty; and by all means, move your easy chair at least two feet from the television. Above all: don't forget to blink.
