[QUOTE=Peter S C;104650]Yes... this is a big problem. My eyesight has deteriorated significantly from working long hours in front of a computer. There are many things I could have done better though to help lessen this:

Blink often and use eyedrops to keep your eyes moist
Look away from the computer every so often and focus on something in the distance
Be careful not to stare too much at the screen

You are totally right, but I would add the fact that try fast-focusing or what it would be called. That means you pick up your index finger, and hod it at computer-screen distance from your eyes, then go to a window and 30 times switch from finger to long distance. This is something I heard on Swedish TV for some time ago was a good exersize for long time computer use. And the more you train this, your eyes will handle the stress of computers and long hours.
