I can't seee x_x

[Xander]

Does anyone get bad headaches or migraines where it effects their vision? Right now my vision has gone really blurry and it's only happened once before, but it's like I can't focus on anything on the screen and I get all these little dots and blur everywhere.

The more I look and try to see everything properly it makes my head gradually hurt more and more =/ But I don't know if it's migraine or just something else... ugh it's horrible trying to work though =/

Anyone have tips/similar experiences....?

I used to get migraines and headaches all of the time. I just used to take a lot of paracetemol.

Maybe you need glasses.

[BizarroSephiroth]

That has happened to me. It feels very weird!

Tips: Drink alot of water. Migraines can be a sign of dehydration
Rest your eyes, close them and lay down for awhile, or nap. Try not to fall asleep though, if you don't want to

[Xander]

Yeah, I have glasses already.

And I took some tablets too. I wish I could lay down but nowhere to.... oh well.

People are banging out the wall above me which is really helping

Here's an obvious question... do you sit in front of the PC a lot?

That might be your problem right there...

[licence]

Well, if the problem persists maybe a doctor is the best option.

But yeah, being on the computer or watching tv a lot could be part of the problem.

Well at work for about 9 hours a day and then probably 2 or 3 in the evening too. So yes, and I do wish I didn't have to sit at it everyday sometimes but not much choice (in the daytime at least).

And I hate doctors. I guess it doesnt get this bad too often, it's just weird when I can't see things straight..I think it's going off now...

You many not like them, but the best thing you can do is going to your GP or an optician. They may be able to give you something, or suggest a few things that will help take some of the strain off your eyes. They'd at least be more qualified to give you advice than, say, people on a meesage board.

[Xander]

Well I couldn't go there right now so I settled for the message board. =P Plus I asked them before and they didn't help... but hey. I want to go get a job picking strawberries or working on a farm..... ;_;

You need glasses from your explanation i am almost 100% sure, you should go see a doctor, trust me.

[Xander]

Yeah, I have glasses already.

Anyway it's not like it happens often so not sure about the doctor. But thanks for the suggestions

[Agent Proto]

I don't know. I wouldn't blame the computer for such a thing. Anyway, have you checked your blood pressure lately? That might have something to do with your vision. :O

[Xander]

They say I have high blood pressure quite a lot, but don't know why. I think it was ok last time though Perhaps I'll check again.

[Agent Proto]

Well, let's just say I was in a very similar position late last year. My blood pressure was pretty high (as in over 200/100). At one point, my vision was just as bad as yours, maybe even worse, because from my point of vision, everything was too dark to focus on anything.

I did went to see an optometrist regarding my vision, seems like my eyes were fine, but out of the process, I did get some new pair of glasses.

Anyway, I guess I shouldn't ask, but are you also experiencing other things other than just your vision?
