responses and comments:
Yes, staring at a screen for that long, puts tremendous strain on your eyes. You need to take a break every hour [ksstormhunter]
yeah, mylot keeps me infront of computer for hours buddy. [utsadetti]
If you want to prevent eyes from straining then move around your eyeballs every minute.:-) [amira_milka]
That's what i am worrying about lol. [utsadetti]
It's bad for your posture and your eyes. [missjackie]
yeah, i think so. [utsadetti]
I dont think it will do much damage if u use a sort of transparent shielding screen in front of ur monitor. [anirbanb4u]
I don't use any shielding yet. [utsadetti]
If you are going to sit in front of a computer for 10 hours than you need to take breaks frequently to prevent eye problems that can result of it. Looking at the monitor for so many hours is not healthy for the eyes so you should take 10-15 breaks each hour at least. I remember hearing this on a health show a long time ago. [kgwat70]
Yeah, most of the time when we are addicted to learn something in internet, we can't go from it. [utsadetti]
As with most things, it's best to use moderation. If you find yourself sitting in front of the computer for long periods of time, get up, stretch, walk around the room a bit, or just sit back and rest your eyes. Constantly staring at a computer screen is a tremendous strain on the eyes and may cause long term damage. [DoubleB66]
So we should be discipline to ourself buddy? [utsadetti]
Yes, I do think sitting in front of the computer for long hours is a dangerous thing. Your eyes will be the most effected. But it is not only tour eyes that will be effected. If your posture is bad when sitting then your back also might be effected. [bodugohodaa]
Yeah, that's what i am afraid of. I should be very careful. [utsadetti]
I have worked for years using my computer for more than 8 hours a day and then some more time at home for pleasure. It has not damaged my eyes and I have been told that it is because you do look away from the screen more timen that you realize and this is a form of protection for your eyes. [whiteheather39]
That's good of you! You are healthy then. [utsadetti]
you really shouldn't be on the comptuer for 10 hours or more. not healthy at all. there's a 20-20-20 rule. every 20 minutes take a 20 second break and look at something that is 20 feet away. [whoosh88]
Only 20 minutes? How come? [utsadetti]
yes but i don't think that i stay 10 hours on my personal computer screen but expert advice 15 min of break every hour you stay at pc screen,rest for eyes and for mind.Nice discussion [lynoxuette]
Yeah, i'll try, because it's difficult when we are serious. we forget time! [utsadetti]
Yes dude i think this is truth, my eye sight is very weak now, i am using my computer for last 14 hours now, really and now i am going to sleep, i am very tired now, but i only earned $0.11 today, i am very scared i spend lot of time and earn just pennies, wel pray for me, thanks dude [kingadnan]
yeah, it's funny right? we are addicted to a penny! but we love it. Have a nice sleep, dude. [utsadetti]
Yes it is correct, it will hurt your eyes. [smartbrain69]
It probley is and i probley have some sort of radiation poisiong or something from sitting here. I am usually at the computer, either working or browsing from the time i get up to the time i go to bed. [armywifey]
Yeah, it probably is. [utsadetti]
Yes, more than 10 hrs might couse bad effects. try to close your eyes 10-15 seconds for every 15 minutes. [Chinthaka]
yes that's why i have to do something else and then get back on the computer [coco526]
that's good idea. [utsadetti]
Yes I know even I get headache sometimes. Best is to move your eyes away from computer every ten minutes and take a walk for few minutes in the house after every hour. I even take a coffee break in the middle of night if I sit on com for long. [mansha]
yeah it is very dangerous to sit infront of comp for more than six hours , as you stair at the screen it may effect eyes hope you are having better sitting arrangmant to sit infront of comp as other wise the chances are there you get heavy back pain.so be carefull, always sit with your back having a soft support ok. [ganeshprabhuk]
that's right buddy. [utsadetti]
You should keep a habit of discontinuing the viewing on the screen every 30 mins. I mean just look somewhere else for about 1 minute. Thats how the eyes again comes to a resting position. Also maintain a habit of splatting your eyes with cold water after every long session on your computer. Thanks [milestone]
i 'll try it buddy. [utsadetti]
