When working from home, using a projector on a wall rather than a monitor. Farther focusing distance, and reflected light rather than a direct light source.
Women say they love mens eyes. So you have to work those out at the gym as well. I do eyelid lifts and eye rolls. 3 sets of 20 6 days a week with a rest day on Sunday. You can do these while on the treadmill and doing other excercise to increase efficiency. You can also mix in some beta carotene into your protein shake to really maximize the eye pump.
Supplements may have an effect, so for example taking beta carotene while being a smoker may be counterproductive: > Among current smokers, beta-carotene supplementation was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (odds ratio [OR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.10-1.39). [Beta-carotene in multivitamins and the possible risk of lung cancer among smokers versus former smok…
- Bias lighting behind the monitor
- Blue light and anti-glare glasses while working
- Little to no computer on the weekend
- Limit phone use by removing addictive apps
Not a cure but it helps a lot.
Loosely related, the MacBook Pro 2021 laptop display uses PWM [1], which is said to cause more eye fatigue. Does anyone know more about this? How much does it affect a typical user? Or are there ways to mitigate this? PWM is also present on iPads and smartphones, but the laptop screen is something that is used more often and for longer periods of time; which is why I'm primarily interested in PWM in laptops.

What if you can't even see a screen with out glasses? I'm -8 both eyes and I have to be like 6 inches from a 27" monitor to see words clearly. Seriously considering lens implants since my eyes are too bad for lasik.
That's very common, you use weaker glasses for near work then, so around -6 or -6.5 depending on your distance from your screen. You can find more information on that on the endmyopia page or wiki by looking for "differential glasses"

> With these rules I've managed to go from -5.5/-6 to -3.5/-3.75 in just these 9 months. And that's with me still spending 12h a day on my computer. Do you mean you've gotten used to a weaker pair of glasses? Can you actually see just as well, and how have you tested that? Are you around 40 (far vision improves around that age)?
I always use weaker glasses on my computer now (around 1.5 diopters less than my full correction). I just reduce that reduced correction step by step (recommended is .25 diopter reductions, .5 worked for me too though) when it feels right (aka when I can see the screen decently well even with the new weaker glasses). So I started by using -4 glasses at the computer and now I use -2. To check my current eyesight, I us…
What you said is basically what I read 7~8 years ago when I was in my early twenties
I searched and read about this method in a Chinese forum website, zhihu, IIRC. As lazy as I was, I just couldn't be serious with any methods to cure my eyesight
Now that I read your comment on HN, it is actually legit lmao

> 3 sets of 20 6 days a week Why on earth would you do hypertrophy sets for a body part that clearly benefits more from pure max strength training? Lower those numbers to 5 sets of 3-5 reps at max intensity, and recover for at least 48 hours. At 6 days a week, you're pretty much begging for an injury. > You can also mix in some beta carotene Holy cow you're crazy. Stay natty my friends.
Going to work on getting the eyes swole after some good endurance training first so there's a good balance between fast twitch and slow twitch so there's some definition but also function.

Beta carotene is useless. Eyelid lifts, eye rolls, «snipping» corners of your monitor, frequent focus shifting (e.g. following of every tick on a ruler attached to your nose), are good for muscles, so they are recommended.
I was having huge problems with eyesight strain. Just after an hour of computer use I would see blurry, shadows, double, light sensitivity, etc. I was even thinking about changing my profession. I tried many things like blue light filters, eye drops, improved refresh rates, max-hardware-brightness with reduced software-brightness, different light bulbs, eInk, orange glasses, red light therapy, larger monitor farther…
Since march of this year I stopped following my eye doctor's advice ("wear your glasses as much as possible otherwise your brain gets lazy", which is proven BS) and looked into endmyopia (i think i even read about it on HN), as I was getting into the risk zone for retinal detachment (6 diopters), which can lead to blindness. To sum it up: reduce the amount of near-work you do (looking at your monitor, smartphone, boo…
Not griping about capitalism, I think its the best thing out there for the economy, its just that we haven't figured out a way to prevent it from creating authoritative science backed research that somehow always promotes the funding party's product.
