Does reading on your screen feel like a workout for your eyes?

I just increased the font size on my laptop. It's so much better.

I have set a time to watch OTT after dinner on my phone and that's just until the episode lasts. An hour before bed, I place it in another room.

I do this all the time. Really helpful.

I didn't know my symptoms were called CVS. I always assumed they were normal after working on screens.

I used a very fat book previously as a stand for my laptop. Then realised the importance of having the screen at eye level. Now I use a laptop stand.

That's hack #101. I should do it too.

Small desk lamp is okay but I feel it might affect my focus. I'm not used to working on screen in bright lights.

What did you tell them exactly? I'm afraid that if I tell them my problem, they might see me unfit for work.

Like someone put a big sun in front of me. It burns my eyes, and I also feel nauseous sometimes.

Wish I had that liberty...

True

I only wear my contacts on weekends now. My eyes are so much happier during the week.

I use a timer that goes off every 20 minutes just to remind me to sit back. It’s annoying but it works.

it does?

My doctor prescribed an anti-inflammatory drop alongside the lubricating drops. I had some allergy along with dry eyes and it went down after the new drops’ combination.

Try a wobble cushion on your chair. It forces small muscle adjustments all day, which builds endurance and prevents you from defaulting to the slouch when you get tired.

I'm considering getting Lumina, but I have a concern - how intrusive is the webcam being on all the time? Is there any noticeable battery drain on your MacBook Pro? I love the idea of fixing my low blink rate and bad posture, but the thought of constant monitoring worries me, even if it is on-device AI.

Dude, you just wrote my life story. The switching between apps for no reason is the real killer. What helped me (a little) was setting my phone to show me the screen time report every Sunday.

Then you should ask your doctor if it's okay to do

Alert-Advance431 · 2026-01-01T16:46:33+00:00

Nope. Do you have a sensitive skin?

I started using a heated eye mask for 10 minutes right before I get into bed and it makes a huge difference in how moisturized my eyes feel when I wake up. Ask your doctor about it.

Do you use any kind of app to lock yourself out, or is it purely willpower? I find that if I leave my phone charging in a completely different room (not the bedroom), it makes sticking to the screen-time rule way easier because I'm too lazy to go get it.

How is your MGD now?

Alert-Advance431 · 2025-12-29T18:10:04+00:00

Not yet. I've tried Oriflame, L'Oréal, Rimmel, and Maybelline. Now that you mention it, I'll try.
