Hey my favorite peeps,

since I am working online, I need glasses that can reduce consequences of looking at the screen for a long time (I work via Skype, so no flashing, or something like that). Can you provide me with some information/links where I can inform myself about what should I look for at my optician's office?

I have glasses with anti-reflective film, what else can I get?
 
I have had no seizure related problems working with LCD screens for 8-15 hours per day. Old cathode ray screens had a lot of flicker and would cause headaches.
Eye strain from staring at a bright screen at a fixed distance can be a problem.

Can you recommend something that could relieve that strain, except making breaks (which I do as much as I can)?
 
You can get screen filter not sure what you would call it.You have get lighting right and just discovered in uk there people who light technology people it quite complex thing up lighting down lighting.What magnifie strength you need and light with it.
Think it come down to trial and effort but I wa told people Working in publi sector must have filt screen and every 20 take break but don't think that's heeded much
 
I am light sensitive, bright lights cause headaches, so I keep all of my computer monitors set very dark, no gamma, very low contrast, and just enough brightness to see what I need.

Today is very dark and gloomy outside so my setting will be very dark but when it is brighter out the settings go up a little ( brightness and a bit of contrast).

Other than that try to use the 20-20-20 method, every 20 minutes of staring at the computer take a 20 second break to look at something at least 20 feet away.

Gamma Rays are the best!
