Do you sit at a computer for extended periods? Do you get migraine headaches, tension headaches or neck pain? Can computers be the cause of your headaches?
Without a doubt the computer has revolutionized our lives. The trouble is that we now seem to spend hours in front of it staring at the screen - and because we are concentrating on what we are doing, we stop paying attention to the little signals our body is sending us like aches in the neck, shoulders and back; dry eyes; difficulty in focusing on the screen properly and the beginnings of a headache.
When a headache occurs? I use my glasses! I don't really wear my glasses full time... I only use it when my headache kills me....lol! Pop a pill is not my option! How about you? You might also be interested in checking out wyoming registered agent.
Here are some helpful steps I found online:
1.Start by taking regular breaks. By regular I mean every 20-30 minutes.
2. You only have to stand up and look at something in the distance and this allows your eyes to re-focus and makes the eye muscles work.
3. While you are up, stretch out your neck, drop your shoulders back to their normal position, get a drink of water and just allow yourself 30 seconds or so away from that screen.
4. By the way, you might want to look at the position of the screen. It should be directly in front of you and your eyes should be level with the top edge of the monitor so that your head remains level at all times. Only your eyes should drop to look at the words on the screen.
5. Also, if you are able, make sure that you are not facing the window as this tends to make you squint at the screen.
6. Poor quality screens can cause you to stare at the screen more. If you can get yourself a flat-screen monitor your eyes will thank you.
7. When we are staring at a computer screen we don't blink as often as normal. Squeeze you eyes together for a few seconds to help to relax you poor eye muscles and ensures your eyeballs stay moist and free from irritation.
8. Make sure you have adequate lighting in your study / work area and eliminate computer screen glare.
9. You might want to think about consulting your optometrist for an an eye test.

Very practical suggestions to avoid getting a headache while using a computer. When my eyes get strained or my head aches, I rest for a while or sleep a little. I do not over strain my eyes or else I will have a king size headache. Thanks for the practical post. God bless you all always.
Hi dhemz, ty for the comments. Pag nsa elementary na sya... mag join sa sport. Para ma raise sya in sports. Its for kids to be active.
nice post sis.. My husband also suffers headache for he spends more than 8 hours facing computer. I'm planning to bring him an optometrist so this will be corrected. Ingat sis!
I never use eyeglasses but since i have my laptop and live with it for almost 12 hours. pansin ko sumasakit na ulo ko at namumula na mata ko (of course) adik ba naman, so I consult to the nearest optometrist and she told me that I need an eyeglasses and also the lens protect my eyes sa sobrang titig sa computer screen.
kaya minsan kpg nakiwebcam ako, sasabihin ng anak ko kamukha ko na ang lola nila hahaha ok lang maganda naman ang lola nila.
Dili lang ulo og mata pati kasukasuhan og dulo sa daliri, hapit na mapudpod ang sa akoa.
Pati lubot kay nagflat na kakalingkod.
I am wearing eyeglasses due to overexposure to computer screen. Thanks for the tips
Nice tips, I'll apply it, thanks!
same here! I only use my eyeglasses whenever my head starts to hurt. But then I have to take meds if I want to really get rid of the pain
Very useful tips. I've been getting a lot of head aches while sitting in front of the computer. I need to remember your suggestions here and start taking breaks away from it.
Great tips. mag eyeglass ko usahay pag naa sa computer. then I take regular breaks sad kay sakit man ang lubot ug nilingkod ug ang likod..hehehe
