How can I correct my eyesight if my work requires me to stare at the computer screen all day?

Question:

I suspect that I've gone myopic after 21 years of having a 6/6 eyesight. Oh no.

Answers:
Go to an eye doc first and find out if you are really myopic. Even if you are don't despair, lasik surgery is very evolved and you can regain perfect eyesight. Give your eyes a lot of rest and look away from the screen every half an hour. Also eat carrots and green leafy vegetables, your eyes will feel better.

Other Answers:
ask your employer to provide you with a safety or glare screen. It cuts the brightness down and eases the strain, also ask an optometrist for a prescripton eyewear to use only when you are on the computer, just as you would for reading glasses

^totally agree, get something that cuts down on the brightness, wear special glasses or get a cover for your monitor, also if possible try sitting further away from the screen or not starting at it as much Well maybe a special screen. I have heard that you should look away from the computer for about 30-60 seconds every hour to help your eyes refocus and cause less squinting and eyesight problems. Maybe an eye drop will help to if your eyes feel dry. You should ask your doctor about this as well, to get a more professional opinion or do a search about this on Ask.com.

I hope this helps you! :)

Sit further away from the screen, place it at eye level, try to get an LCD if you're using a CRT and if it's already too late, there's always Lasik to give you back (hopefully) you r6/6/ eyesight. Maybe you would like to let your eyes rest every half an hour, so that your eyes will not feel so tired out. If you suspect that you have gone myopic, you might want to consult an eye specialist. It might help you & tell you what you need to do next.
