She might have prescribed them to you. But I see a lot of gamers where specific gaming glasses for computer screens.

" She prescribed me glasses to resolve this. And I have to say, they do help!"

Maybe you need better glasses or simply different ones.


That's possible. I'm probably revisting the doctor (or antoher one) and explain that my problems haven't been resolved after one year.

Check out gaming glasses like Gunnar Optiks...it cuts out the light that screens emit that tends to give headaches and mess with your sleep cycles and whatnot

I'll ask my doctor about the Gunnark. But, wearing these glasses won't solve my astigmatism issues, and this clearly is a part of my problem.

I dont feel headache when I stress my eyes, but I feel them in the next day if I oversleep to compensate the tiresome I feel after a stressful day for my eyes. Worse is when I get spots on my peripheral vision due to excessive Web surfing or game session that are too long. These spots are like the ones you get when you look directly at a strong light source like the sun or light bulbs. And only disapear if I stay awake in a dark room for one hour. A doctor said to me in a consultation that is due to my brain starts to get tired of so much "image processing".
Never notice nothing about night and day cycles to help the situation. I usually work at a computer at day and game at night.

Hope you can get better.

Something I've learned during the past year, is that eye strain is different for everyone. I get headaches, others get blurry vision, neck pain, while some simply have some slight eye irritation. I guess research on cvs is still in its infancy. General tips like changing contrast don't do anything for me.

However, sleeping always resolves my issues. It's strange that you get pain after sleeping.
