Eye Strain

i also noticed a couple other people saying they had anxiety on this thread as well.. look to that as the source of your problems. Anxiety can easily cause muscles to tighten, especially the eyes because thats the only organ in the body directly connected to the brain and is heavily influenced by emotion.

VOodoo288 - did you consider that by the fluorescent lights being turned off behind you made you feel better about it anxiety-wise and thats why your pain went down? Not because of the actual lights being off themselves? It's very easy to get scared on forums and threads like this one when people tell you "watch out for this, get this monitor, LED lighting is the cause) but people like us who have tried everything and are still stuck in the same boat are not anomalies, just haven't looked at the right source of the problem. For me if there is one thing that has stayed consistent over the past 5 1/2 years since this eyestrain problem started for me is that I never stoppped worrying about it. I worry about it when I get up, throughout the day, and when I go to bed, so probably 85%-90% of the day something about my eyes is on my mind. This is the OCD byproduct of anxiety which causes this. Being afraid makes you look inward and investigate why you're in pain or whatever your symptom is, and I would spend hours and hours looking things up online on every article I could find, forums like this, going from doctor to doctor, etc. The more I worried the worse it got. You have to address the worry to get better.
 
I'm not quite sure where he got the idea that mag citrate would help his eyes.

Magnesium citrate can be used to treat anxiety so he was treating the source of the problem instead of the symptom which is his eyes.
 
also noticed this:
Back in 2011, a year prior to the eye strain problem, I did stop drinking alcohol, dramatically reduced sugar/snack consumption (typically less than 10g of sugar a day), completely quit caffeine, and pretty much drink only water (very occasional cow/soy/coconut milk and orange juice). All changes in desperation to deal with the panic disorder I'd begun suffering with at the time.

Just changing your diet won't eliminate panic disorder
 
Eye Strain can now be easily cured by selecting the Adequate Monitor. Here is a simple way to do that:

•Upgrading to flat-panel liquid crystal display also known as LCD's, i am recommending them for a specific reason which is
•LCD’s have anti reflective display area due to which they are easy on the eyes.
•Select displays with Highest Resolution.
*** The lower the Dot pitch the sharper would be the image. Selecting a dot pitch of .28 mm or smaller is optimum for your eyes.***

No matter what sort of Monitor you pick, if you sit for long hours, then you will have to do these simple steps to save your eyes
Follow these simple steps in case you have to sit for long time on your computer screens
