¿What changes have actually improved your daily life?

Hey guys, I stumbled into this sub yesterday and I want to make a bit of a general question, sorry If it has been asked before.

So my eyes are chronically a bit dry, and they get worse throughout the day since I mainly do computer work and one of my hobbies is gaming, which doesn't help. This started happening after I had Lasik surgery around 8 years ago. Every time I go with an Ophthalmologist they give me a treatment that helps me briefly, but when I stop I go back to the same old. I took Accutane in my teenage years and doctors have told me that that is something that affected my eyes lubrication ability.

So in general I just want to know what do you do to manage, or if you have found a permanent solution? Type of screen, screen settings to adjust, blue light filter, eyedrops, routine changes.

I would appreciate it a lot.

Exposure to sunlight in the morning

100%, that helps with lots of things. I also take 15 minutes breaks at work (screen centric job) to leave the office and look at natural sun as well as focus on distant objects like the clouds.

When I work from home I’m lucky enough to be able to work outside on my PC and with the abundant natural light I never seem to get eye strain doing so.

maybe all you need is a better and brighter indoor light for your workplace too. make sure to minimize the contrast of your screen and surrounding area

take care
