Why i get high power diapter where neither any of my parents have specs?

The first and most important thing should be: Does your eyes or brain tolerate this type of screen/backlight/projection/flicker at all ? If not, then you can try anything and nothing will help. I know something about it very well. I can break all the rules on CRT monitors/TV or 3xLCD TV or projectors with metal halide lamps (only) even with 3D active glasses and nothing happens. Even when watching it non-stop, while using all the rules at any other modern display and my eyes are in pain after a few minutes. I am just returning OLED TV becouse that - huge eye strain at any brightness, any distance with/or without any option - just looking at static screen. And my eyes are still almost perfect after 30 years behind different CRT monitors ... What's wrong ? CCFL/Plasma/LED/OLED with PWM flicker or not, are very far from normal light, so the eye strain for some of us. Perfect image should not give any, because if it was not true, then looking at no matter how big ex. paper picture on the wall, would tire our eyes, but this is not the case. The same for me is watching 130' from projector from ex. only half a meter, while 1-5-10 meters to those much smaller OLED's etc. and my eyes are soon closing by itself and on the next day I fell they are "burning". btw. how Oled TV with no PWM can cause eye strain or diziness ? Every of them have a few percent flicker - a dip in brightness at speed of panel refresh rate and such slow flicker can have an impact on eyes even when screen looks static. So the same - it's very hard to understand this for a person which is not seeing a rainbow effect from ex. DLP projection.

Thank you very much for the great video. I have a question. How often should one change bluelight glasses?

I agree!!! Honestly, I wish I would have had more basic instructions about how to lift heavy objects, sit correctly, and do stretches and things - it would have saved me so much back pain.

@@DoctorEyeHealthI couldn’t agree more!! Every college should have a required class on workplace physical health or something like that.

Can somebody help me. I've been using TN monitors my whole life and two days ago I bought my first IPS LG 22mk400h-b monitor. It's cheap because I really don't need a 32" 400$+ monitor. But here's the problem - I get headache after 15 minutes and my eyes are so tired looking at this IPS monitor. I could easily stare at my old TN monitor for hours without eye strain or headaches. I lowered brightness from 90 (which was default) to 30 but it doesn't help. What should I do?

@@mkm1015What did you end up doing in the end? Do you still use the IPS monitor

@@ITzPeter100 yes. My eyes got used to it. I installed flux to give my monitor a bit of yellow color as the night falls so it is easier on my eyes.

Thank you for the recommendation, Im trying to do everything to avoid headaches and surely this will contribute as well. 🎉

Wonderful! OMG this makes me so happy to hear!!!! I really appreciate you sharing this. Many blessings.

Wow thanks for noticing that! That is something I think I do when I am focusing or stressed out (although I don't grind my teeth at night, thankfully) I guess it's called Bruxism?

Thanks for sharing! That is great to hear that dark mode helps. I have read conflicting reviews but I also like dark mode, mostly because I know it saves on energy. Also happy to hear the honey drops are helping.

Dark mode for life and eye saver mode on all monitors, plus blue light glasses.

Very good point! What do you recommend?

@@DoctorEyeHealth I'm not an expert on anything :) But IPS is the middle ground if you can't afford OLED. I have a VA myself but i don't do color critical work so it is fine for me when i slouch on my chair. By far the worst are TN panels, but those are slowly disappearing these days. Also it was very weird when i switched from a curved 32" to a flat 32" monitor, for weeks the image seemed distorted, like a fish eye effect. But that is another topic of discussion.

@@drupiROM Are you comfortable with the VA panel even after witnessing an IPS panel? I'm upgrading from an old TN panel and I want to go with VA from my research, but it seems that the majority of people prefer IPS.

@@colinpierre3441 IPS has poorer contrast in low light. I use a VA for that reason. If i were you, i would go to a store and look at them myself or buy one VA and one IPS panel and return the one you don't like.

@@drupiROM Ok thanks, I'm not able to go anywhere at the moment and returning is a hassle because I'll have to get someone to do it for me... but I feel the VA would be good for me.

Hey thanks! ...wait...but you are the official Liar...😮

@@DoctorEyeHealth :V

As far as proper ergonomics, I am not a physical therapist or a chiropractor, but from what I have read and learned, it is best to sit upright with feet flat on the floor or on a foot rest. You want the elbows to be bent at a 90 degrees and the hands comfortably landing on the keyboard. wrist support is nice to help prevent carpel tunnel and other wrist injuries. The mouse should also be easy to access without having to reach your body forward. Again you don't your head to be leaning forward or back because that puts extra strain on the neck. I know there are other ergonomic desk setup videos you can check out otherwise it would be best to ask a ergonomic specialist for personal recommendations. (I know I use a pillow on my lower back for extra support)

I have not done it personally. One of my mentors in my schooling did some research on it and found mixed results compared to some published studies and so I never got into it. (although I believe our clinic does have a probing instrument). I will ask the other docs how often they perform it and if they have any resources for me to study. Thanks for asking, perhaps I can do a video on the published research.

So nice of you! Thank you🙏

You rock! Thanks for all the support!!!

Always welcome! Thanks for watching and for commenting! I appreciate it.

Hmm that is an interesting question. Assuming someone has healthy, good functioning eyes and vision...the other factor is that there is a part of the brain responsible for remembering faces. The temporal lobe plays a major role in this and when it is gone it is called prosopagnosia,

@@DoctorEyeHealth is this the same case as seeing like a fog or vision aura around the person's face. I do know everyone in the house but at most times when they're looking at me , I do fail to know who's near or a far until they talk or say something though I do ask because it freaks me out. This has been happening for a few months now. Any solution to this Doc. Thank you

OOoooh yes, dark mode. I have not read any legit studies on if it truly makes a difference for eye strain but I know a lot of people who love it and feels it helps. I know it helps with energy consumption.

Thank you!!! You Too!!!

OOOh perhaps! Maybe I can ask some physical therapists I know to collab on posture...or maybe some tech channels to share their thoughts on proper gear.

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Hey thanks for asking! It often depends on the ability of a person to accommodate (or focus on a near object for reading). If someone post refractive surgery is having eye strain at near, then yes, computer glasses can often be helpful. But it has to be addressed on a case by case basis.

:-) lol ...yeah...I learned awhile ago that the heat from laptops isn't necessarily good for your lap either...

we all do my friend

Wow, yes. I really should. I love our OCT. We even have an OCT-A for angiography.

There have been some good questions around these topics when it comes to screens. I have some research and visual science I could report on. I will see what I can do! Thanks

haha yes! good eye! It's been awhile since I last played it but I hear there have been some updates?

@@DoctorEyeHealth Quality of life and some creator updates for those that really like to make their world their own. Lots of customization tools and things for decorating no new gear or anything but the idea is cool. Some really creative stuff out there now that I have no idea how to do.

Done and Done! LOL, this I guess is more of tips to set up your desk...although I know most videos on KZfaq around desk setups are more of show and tell (check out this cool desk I got, look here...buy these cool speakers I have...you see this random glowing accent light you don't need (I bet you want it now)) That is all I hear and see in most Desk Setup/ Desk Tour videos.

Thanks for letting me know! I personally love backlighting and I know many people who find it helpful for eyestrain, however I could not find any published studies completed on it. Hopefully some day I can do more in depth videos on coatings and things like that. I will be doing a video going more in depth on blue light research soon

Well it sounds you have a lot to be grateful then!!!

Hey thanks for asking!!!! Those are my Flexon Black B2035, very light weight

Thank you so much they look great :D

I would worry I might get sunburn😂🤣...I suppose the distance would maybe help with eyestrain but the size of the screen can create some other issues.

@@DoctorEyeHealth which other issues? Can you explain me please?

Noted! I hope to have a mini series going over that soon

I guess I am not 100% sure what your doctor means by "the new office glasses" but I know many people do benefit from computer glasses if they spend a lot of time in front of screens or doing nearwork.

that's gotta be cool to see how much they have changed! I remember the first computer we ever owned. I think I was in 4th grade...maybe 1998?

I miss the calm and soothing noise of analog through my phone and pc

Sadly, I do not know of any toric daily colored lenses I would professionally recommend. I just don't think there are many manufacturers making them. But if you find any, please let me know

Yeah I need to slow down...I think for a long time I spoke fast when making videos because I thought it would help people keep attention longer...but now I aspire to slow down.

It is overall a good phrase...but nobody seems to really follow it...sadly

Oh really? Why is that? I have built many PCs in the past and the fans I have used never seemed to function different at different angles. Are they designed differently?

@@DoctorEyeHealth it doesn’t matter the angle. A few degrees doesn’t matter. The air path internally which is what matters doesn’t change with angle….what you don’t want to do is put it on a soft surface that Impedes the airflow around the bottom where the air needs to flow.

Hi, Are you still experiencing this? I also got an ASUS OLED vivobook recently and I have noticed some eyestrain. I think it might be because of the OLED screen.

It depends on the specific binocular dysfunction for sure. There are situations were prisms are 100% indicated. The eyes are very complex. If I was to go in depth on all the uses for prisms and the research, the video would last 6+ hours haha.

I guess I don't understand your reasoning of how OLED screens would cause eye fatigue. Do you have any study or reference you could share how low frequency PMW is related to eye fatigue or strain? I would like to better understand it. Thanks

The only one that comes to mind is oral Fluoroquinolones, however, the studies that report this association has been scrutinized for bias and the risk to be very weak. Also, those medications are used for bad infections (where the risk of death is at hand), where flashes/floaters and even RD is thankfully...not lethal.

I am pretty confused too. I think there is a lot of misinformation and a lack of scientific understanding. I hope to have a few videos out soon reviewing scientific findings and concerns around tech use and the eyes...to sort of set the record straight based on current scientific publications. Hint: there are a lot of findings in publications that have been overplayed and used out of context to sell and market products.

@@DoctorEyeHealth That'd be brill to see! I know there's a massive study correlating smartphone use in children with increased myopia numbers. Blue light glasses... Ive got mixed feelings about as anecdotally I found they helped with eyestrain.

💯🔥👍
