Does anyone else experience this? I'm assuming it's just eye fatigue, so I'm not worried about it, just curious.

After a day of being on the computer, usually after 12 hours or so, my vision starts getting sort of hazy. For one, my prescription needs updating since I'm in that 40+ range and my near-sightedness is improving because far-sightedness is taking over. (No need for bifocals yet. Phew)!

Eye drops don't help. I probably need to do that thing where you change your focus once in a while to something further away.

Any other tips from people who have this problem?

I do that too. I'm a gamer and computer geek though, so it's normal for me. For me though I go cross eyed and have to strain to get myself to focus for a while. Then it stops. Maybe something to do with the lights of it too, how as you're surfing the net or playing video games there are a lot of lights that change or change position or something? I think it freaks out some people and induces siezures, maybe it freaks out some people's eyes?

Maybe I'm wierd though.
