Computer fucking up my eyes. What can be done?

[Pepe]

I feel like my eyes are getting fucked from all the staring at the screen. Anything that can be done? I don't want to go blind.

[Spammer]

Reduce the fucking brightness

[Magic]

Get specs you stupid prick.

[Spammer]

such a cunt

[Disco]

Nope, nothing. You'll inevitably go blind and die alone, in the cold.

:)

[Pepe]

Reduce the fucking brightness

It's already at like 40%


Get specs you stupid prick.

I'm not blind yet.

That's what I thought. :(

[Magic]

It helps though, even if you're not blind.

[SvN]

Have you tried f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/)?

[Pepe]

My sight is fine. What kind of specs we talking about here? Never worn any kind of glasses.

[Pepe]

Have you tried f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/)?

No, will check it out. :thbup:

[Spammer]

F.lux is decent

[Magic]

Just installed it. Cool. :cool:

[five time]

I started getting the same and eye drops usually help for a bit.

[7om]

I've been using flux for about a year now and wouldn't be without it. Computer glasses may also help and they're dirt cheap.

[Pepe]

Computer glasses? Link?

[randomlegend]

I must have recommended flux about 15 times on here.

That's what you get for only reading the good posters.

[Dquincy]

Wear Prada sunglasseses. Must be Prada.

Aren't they just reading glasses?

[randomlegend]

Close your eyes when you use the computer.

[phonics]

Computer Glasses are just yellow shades. It's literally the same as using flux except flux adapts to time of day.

[Magic]

LOL really? I can't think of anything more wankerish than donning a pair of yellow shades for looking at a computer screen. No wonder Seven is all over it. I bet he forgot he was wearing him once when he saw his wife.

Yes, I've seen it mentioned before (I think Spoons was also wanking over it) but never really bothered with it before. I've installed it now and it seems to have done fuck all.

I can't remember what the condition is called (it's a bit like dyslexia-lite) but one of my friends wears orange glasses to help him read more easily.

Lolled, fair play.

Arf :D

[niko_cee]

Fucking hell, do your eyes adjust to this f.lux thing or is it always just this weird muted hue in the evening time?

[Boydy]

It kills the blue light after sundown so your computer doesn't keep you awake.

I have it installed but I often find myself turning it off when it comes on as it's a bit annoying.

[Magic]

Still not sunset here for another 26 minutes so I'll tell you then. What 'lighting at night' level have you got it on?

[Reg]

You get used to it. It's just a bit orangey. I don't notice it anymore.

Opticians have a "20-20-20 rule". Every 20 minutes, take a break for 20 seconds and look at something 20+ feet away.

They're all also speccy cunts so fuck that advice.

[niko_cee]

I think the fact that I am sitting under bright lights probably renders it redundant. It just looks a bit pinky, perhaps like I'm having some sort of brain bleed.

[Pepe]

Does it do anything during the day?

[Pepe]

If you're fucking sight is fine why did you make a thread about it and why have you just wasted 2 minutes of my time.

Because I want it to remain that way you massive cunt.

[Magic]

I think it's pretty certain it will unless he has a time machine.

[Reg]

You could just need glasses, Pepe.

[Pepe]

I don't need glasses, I can read stuff from miles away. Sometimes my eyes just feel a bit strained after staring at the screen all day.

My eyes would be a bit strained too if I had to read shit like leedsrevolution's posts day in day out.

[Pepe]

I think they're bleeding now.

That doesn't mean you don't need glasses.

[Boydy]

I didn't think I needed glasses as I could still read things pretty far away but I went to get my eyes tested anyway because I would get headaches from reading and looking at a screen for too long. Turned out I did need glasses and even though I was shortsighted they still made the headaches from reading go away.

[Pepe]

I have no blurred vision, asthenopia, accommodative dysfunction, binocular dysfunction, amblyopia, or strabismus.

[Pepe]

And I sure as hell don't get fucking headaches. Leave me alone you glass-wearing mongs.

[Raoul Duke]

Can eye strain cause neediness and chimpouts?

You just said you did.

[Magic]

Oh sweet mother of lord what's happened to my monitor? Nobody said this would happen. NOBODY.

[Pepe]

:harold:

I'm like Pepe, genetically superior but suffer from spending my day looking at a screen only to spend my spare time looking at a screen leaving my eyes rageing come the end of the day. Take a one hour break from looking at any backlit screen 2-3 times a day and use flux for browsing TTH at night.

[Pepe]

So does that flux thing do anything during the day? Seems like it doesn't.

You can adjust the settings so it kicks off earlier but unless you're stuck in a room with little to no light because what flux does is try to react to natural light around you to reduce contrast between you looking at your screen and away.

P.S. Having your screen at 40% brightness as default will be an issue in of itself. Light pollution is programmed so much higher that the contrast between your current screen and everything else is already too much. You're already at peak stimuli if you're going from 40% to advertising.

[Pepe]

So what screen brightness is best then?

Also, are sunglasses really needed? Never worn them myself, but sometimes I spend 4+ hours on the bicycle so I'm thinking maybe I should start wearing them, but I would prefer not to.

1) 100 and then use flux or similar across products

2) I live in Swtizerland, not SoCal

[Magic]

Get your eyes tested, you might be surprised.

Or will that cost a fortune?

[7om]

I just leave flux on 24/7. Don't bother with it recognizing night time.

I did this for a while and found it hurting my eyes not looking at a screen instead.

[Pepe]

It probably will. Unless I go to one of those eye places in Walmart, but I'm not sure I want to do that. Especially after I saw the woman who used to cut my cheese in the Deli donning a white labcoat in there.

[Ian]

Because I want it to remain that way you massive cunt.

If this post is anything to go by maybe you're not drying your eyes often enough, mate.

[Reg]

:D


By the way, f.lux people, there's also Twilight for phones.

[7om]

Walmart might give you a package deal.

Get your eyes tested and get discount on an AK-47.

[Spikey M]

They don't let his type have guns legally.

[Baz]

Hyloforte. Get some. Use it at least four times a day. Be happy.

[Dquincy]

My eyes would be strained if I had to look at your wife every day.

:D Ha.

Pepe, if your eyesight is so good, i wouldn't worry mate. Sounds like it's just fine and you have nothing to worry about, especially if you can read all this nonsense.

I would have thought it would be the other way around, so you can definitely headshot that gay, black muslim with aplomb.
