My new eyes

I always new work was bad for my health but I never took it literally. After suffering a bout of bad headaches I took myself to the opticians. There I was recommended glasses for working with the computer. It appears my eyes get strained at the exact distance my monitors sit, coincidence I don’t think!

Not wanting to blow the bank on specs I spent a few days looking around. I used to have having to help my mom choose specs but now I understand her frustration. Eventually I went with the first pair I tried on in Boots!

At work I’ve installed Easy Eyes to try and help me take breaks from the screen. Its free software that shuts off your monitors for a few seconds at a pre determined interval. I use the break to focus on something in the distance. Hopefully this can eliminate some strain and lead to less reliance on the four eyes!
