In this video, I share interesting research about how vision works and the influence it has on how we should view our monitors when gaming. I also share my recommended process on how to find the right monitor distance for you

I just came across this video. I'm an Optometrist and just want to make sure you guys are aware to make sure you take breaks when you play games i.e. 20/20/20 rule. Plus it is recommended that your monitor is slightly downwards, not just for bad posture, but for dry eye ensuring that the eyes are able to blink fully as the aperture height is smaller. Eye strain can be caused by active accommodation (closer the screen) and double vision from extended eye movements. Because of this, I highly recommend everyone getting an eye exam because people who are farsighted tend to get more eyestrain than emmetropes and nearsighted people (lots of people are farsighted, you can't confuse farsightedness with presbyopia in older people), often glasses helps relieve that eye strain. I hope this helps. Good video :)

Ergonomically I think it’s better to be eye level with the centre of the monitor as opposed to the top of the monitor to not cause eye strain when looking down all the time and to not cause neck pain when having your neck slightly tilted down to look at the screen, often at the centre.

Thank you! Man I got a monitor arm today and I can already see how much better I got just by bringing the monitor closer to my face. I always had a problem not using scopes in game like OW for example I drop my accuracy when I switch to hip firing heroes while I'm actually a decent Widow/Ana. I really hope it's not my mind playing tricks on me rn but it's worth the shot for sure. I know you talked about people changing things all the time and that is why they don't get better, or even get worse. I wanted to ask about mice sizes, do you think there is a specific size that you should go for. I've used G305, Model O, O- and even Viper. I can easily get used to any of them within 2 days. How do I know which one is the right one for me, or is it easy for me because I have everything else (Posture, monitor distance, angle... etc) unchanged? Or is grip king? Sorry it was a simple question in my head but when I started typing I ended up with this xD

also another reason some competitive FPS players sit that close to their screen is because the firefights are so structured, peripheral vision doesn't matter anymore because most of the time they're shooting at known points of interest/corners...although I imagine sitting that close makes it more difficult if you have to spin around to shoot an enemy.

Well, that's true but health wise the further you keep the monitor the better it is for your vision since it reduces the eye strain while on the long term it delays the development of nearsightedness (presbyopia) if you are the type of person who likes to keep the montior close to their eyes I suggest you consult with your eye doctor since glasses can reduce the side effects that develop from this by making glasses similar to the reading ones.

2:56 is an inaccurate anatomical model. Light is not sent to our brain, the rods and cones in our eyes translate the light into signals and then send it to the brain (occipital lobe). The anatomy that he shows us, the endpoint of the light before it leaves the eyes to the brain is actually a blindspot. This doesn't take away from his lessons, its more like a small correction for those who care about anatomy. You can just ignore me.

It depends on what kind of player you are in the team, like your actual role or what kind of guns. All it is, is having low enough sens to have good aim but also high enough to perform your role, like a sniper would never play as high sens as someone who was, say, like an entry fragger in CSGO.
