Do you feel your eyes hurting after looking at a computer screen for too long? If you&#8217;re reading this article, chances are, it applies to you.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/science\/\" target=\"_blank\">scientists <\/a>and inventors are taxing their ingenuity to produce more and more eye-friendly computer screens, but their success to this date is not definitive. More and more <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/people\/\" target=\"_blank\">people <\/a>are still complaining of eye problems which result from continously staring at a computer screen.<\/p>\n<p>But computers are becoming such an integral part of daily life &#8211; at least it seems &#8211; that&#8217;s the direction we&#8217;re headed for &#8211; that staring at a computer screen for hours is no longer a bad habit: it is pretty much a necessity.<\/p>\n<p>Everything seems to be computerized nowadays, and consequently, people seem to have no choice but to <em>follow suit<\/em>. But this marvelous innovation which <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/world-affairs\/\" target=\"_blank\">the world<\/a> lauds as heralding such great convenience and speed to information storage and retrieval also comes with its downsides. A large number\u00a0of <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/people\/\" target=\"_blank\">people <\/a>have strained their eyes to the point of impairment by overuse of the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Related: Watch Your Cholestrol Computer Folks<\/p>\n<p>I remember when the &#8220;protective screen&#8221; was rolled out by God-in-heaven-knows what company, but it wasn&#8217;t impressive at all. It was an &#8220;add-on&#8221; screen that you hang in front of the computer monitor and it was supposed to deflect or weaken the harmful rays which hurt the eyes. I remember buying and trying one of these screens, but, like I said, it wasn&#8217;t impressive and my eyes still hurt after long hours of staring at it.<\/p>\n<p>When I launched myself down a career path of internet marketing and web development starting back in the year 2005, for the first few years, everything was all &#8220;fine and dandy&#8221;. I was a having a good time making, breaking and exploring websites, and running up and down all the potential avenues of <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/investment-money-and-finance\/\" target=\"_blank\">making money<\/a> online. I would spend an average of twelve hours per day in front of the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Being that my eyes were &#8220;naturally strong&#8221;, I didn&#8217;t experience any problems during the initial years, but after that, my eyes started to <em>bend<\/em> under the pressure of constant bombardment. One day, I felt a slight pain after the first few hours of looking at the screen. But it got worse by the day.<\/p>\n<p>I realized something. I either had to &#8220;lay off&#8221; the computer for a while, so that my eyes could revive themselves, or find a solution to this problem, and fast! With so much at stake &#8211; my entire chosen career path &#8211; one of them at least &#8211; and a whole lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/investment-money-and-finance\/\" target=\"_blank\">financial investment<\/a>, finding a solution to the problem, and quick, was a much more attractive choice.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to consult my &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/natural-remedies\/\" target=\"_blank\">survival instinct<\/a>&#8220;. As I mentioned earlier, <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/the-humans\/\" target=\"_blank\">humans<\/a>, like <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/animals\/\" target=\"_blank\">animals<\/a>, are programmed by the <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/spirituality\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creator of all things<\/a> with a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/natural-remedies\/\" target=\"_blank\">natural survival instinct<\/a>&#8220;, and I wrote more extensively on this subject in &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/natural-remedies\/\" target=\"_blank\">natural remedies<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>I slept on the problem and the next morning, an idea hit me. I picked up a pair of clear shades &#8211; clear &#8220;shades&#8221; not &#8220;eyeglasses&#8221; or &#8220;dark shades&#8221;. That would do it! Sure it would.<\/p>\n<p>I put them on and continued my work as usual. It worked like a charm. It has been about ten years and I still carry on merrily &#8211; glued to the computer screen for hour\u00a0after hour\u00a0with no eye-strain setting in &#8211; that is, as long as I have these clear shades on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was last updated on the 14th June, 2015 by Patrick Carpen.
