LOL ! 100% TRUE
After you spend a few years you shift from eye straining to brain straining!
Straining started early , Not any more
LOL! It is very funny! But it actually reminded me to take a break away from the computer right now.
ROFL.
No break for me for couple more hours. And, belieeve it or not, I am going to sleep after that.
Well, it seems your pupils have disappeared! I recommend not sitting so close to the TV. And eat more carrots. NEXT!
Wow….so true. The only way I got rid of this was by shifting all my PCs to my office. Now my notebook is back in my bedroom again, and my eyesight is threatening to leave.
hilariously awesome. i’m going to go blind.
Black squiggly lines follow me everywhere .. especially when I am looking at a blank sheet of paper..
Well enough writing — back to Kitty Spangles Solitaire!! ;0)
Nice humpback posture in panel three, developed of course from slumping over a keyboard for 10 hours a day. It’s good to know I’m not alone.
Haha! This is exactly how my life is!
I’m surprised how I still manage to have 20/20 vision though:)
That’s pretty much how I feel when I go in every 6 months for a new prescription. At first they always tell me I don’t need a new one yet, and I have to convince them that I really can’t see well enough to drive away from their office, so they had better get me some stronger contacts. Then they act all superior because they’re doctors and don’t sit in front of a computer for 10 hours. It’s not like I WANT to ruin my eyes, I just enjoy my job.
That’s what happened to me!
I decide to translate to spanish this one. Is hilarius. I’m going to go blind soon too.
wow i can relate. about a year ago i was getting terrible headaches and vertigo sickness from working on my computer.
I thought I was losing my mind
it turns out I just needed glasses.
When you work with a PC, read a book, or when you are doing anything else that requires you to stare at it for a long time, especially close up, you need look around the room, look into the distance now and again. If you do that, your eyesight will NOT get worse. Otherwise, it WILL – it’s only normal, only common sense.
If you do start noticing your eyesight worsening, then you can start doing more exercises – move your eyes up, down, left, right, look onto your nose etc – do this for a couple of mins once every hour or so, then close your eyes and relax. If you put your hands over your face, so that your eyes are right in the middle of your palms, with no light getting through, and stay like this for a minimum of 3 mins, then your eyes will relax and you’ll see a huge improvement for a moment – every day you’ll notice a slight improvement in your vision, right until the moment when you fully restore it.
Eye exercises work very well in fully restoring ones vision (or serve as a means of preventative maintenance)! There are a tonn of exercises that you can do to help your eyesight. We need to look after our eyes, just as we look after any other part of our body.
For me, finding out about exercises and doing them was like a miracle, because I’ve actually managed to fully restore my eyesight that way! I’ve even created a step-by-step guide, detailing the steps I took. And the best thing is that they are so simple, and take only 30 mins a day, 4 days a week!
Very pewerful stuff!!
And whatever you do, DO NOT START WEARING GLASSES.
