lol yes, I ended up having glasses 2 years into having a full time job in front of a computer. But hey, my new glasses have anti-glare, which means I can see clearly and not have trouble staring at the screen for a long amount of time because of glare or brightness. All in all, still worth it, and I get to have glasses that turn into shades whenever I go outside. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
After becoming aware of all the hazards caused by screens I have strictly limited my time of exposure. Though this demands a lot of self control but after analyzing all the long term hazards associated with it, I opt for staying away and indulging in activities other than gaming
The problem becomes more intense for people who have work related exposure to screens. It is like almost doubling the normal exposure time.
Using an anti glare glasses is really a good option. I'm thinking of getting one for me as well. My eyes have started showing symptoms of blurring vision after continuous exposure to screen. Maybe these anti glare glasses will provide me with the much needed relief.
They were available at the glass shop but it's on the mid-high end (around $100). I figure if I was gonna get glasses, might as well get a good end one so it will last for a long time. The expensive part was about the lens, they were anti-glare, and they darken automatically when you step outside, so they turn into sunglasses.
This is pretty expensive. I think on Indian rupees it will be close to Rs 6500/- This is really more than I can afford. I hope I get some lower priced versions of anti glare lenses.
