Do you guys exercise your eyes when at the computer?

[Nocturnal]

My doc said to look straight up and stare at the ceiling for a few seconds. Often times when I'm readying the monitor/computer for long periods of time I end up squinting. Are there any other exercises that I can practice while at home?

Farther away is better. I turn and look at the far wall. I used to have the computer by a window and I could look outside.

I just tried looking up away from the monitor.... and right into my wall lamp. Thanks a lot!!

LCDs > CRTs for reading text

But yeah, I do take breaks every now and then. I actually get up and leave the room (GASP! ) rather than just shift my eyesight.

I always take breaks from staring at the lcd by focusing my eyes on random objects in my room. I dont wear any glasses or contacts and still have 20/20 vision.

I have two 2001FPs for your information.

I have a crappy 15'' monitor. :|
Waiting to get my 20'' back.

I do that occasionally. Usually the door is open so I can see a good distance away.

Turn head. Watch cartoons.

I also take breaks or go outside to get some fresh air. Sometimes just closing your eyes for 30 seconds and not focusing on the monitor will do wonders.

This is begging for the parody "Do you guys exercise your forearms when at the computer?"
