Hi All,
For around three months now I've been getting very sore eyes, very quickly, from using a computer (not really eye strain, because this is almost immediate, rather than the result of prolonged use). Oddly, my eyes are not affected in this way by a flat TV screen. Could someone with a bit of technical knowledge please tell me the difference (eg in radiation output types) between a computer monitor and a TV screen? Does a monitor emit only visible light (which shouldn't hurt me!) or is there also something else (eg UV?), and could I filter it out or protect my eyes from it?
I am going to experiment with using a TV screen as a monitor - If I can get it to work, this may help.
Any replies gratefully received - I can hardly bear to look at a computer screen now and it's affecting life and work. Thanks.
