has any1 had any experience with poor eyesight and weak eyecontact caused by a monitor? i use my pc a lot so it's fair to assume that it might be caused by my monitor. has any1 ever tried using any sort of glasses that are supposed to prevent this?

f.lux makes it feel like you've pissed all over your monitor, but that stuff reduces eye strain like a charm. Or you could up the digital vibrance in your display settings.

Remember those warnings in video games that tell you to take a break every once in a while and go outside or something? Yeah, they're actually serious about that.

it might, I felt like it did but I went to the doctor and he gave me a few tips and some eye drops and told me that it shouldn't affect my eye sight (take breaks, make sure the monitor is below eye level and that there is decent lighting in the room).

The only way your monitor is damaging your eye sight is if you are constantly looking at it for hours and hours without end (or using a CRT / very old LCD monitor and doing this as those are worse than modern LCDs on your eyes). You should every 15-30 minutes look at something off to the distance and focus on it for a very short bit and get up and take a short walk looking around every hour or so.

Monitors don't really damage eye sight directly though, they just cause lots of short term problems (like dry eye) that if you don't fix by giving your eyes long distance things/different things to focus on add up into eye sight problems.
