Has going back to work blinded me???

[oysterpots]

Started back at work three weeks ago after a lovely 14 months maternity leave, sigh...

Job is pretty much computer-based, and Monday evening I felt as though I had two black eyes - really bruised and although looking straight ahead was fine, looking in any other direction really made my eyes ache. Still feeling it a bit now, and really conscious that my eyes are feeling very tired.

Could it be using a computer again after so long without? I've never needed glasses before but maybe I do now... Anyone experienced something similar? thanks

probably just a bit of eye strain after not using a pc for long periods of time (unless you are an obsessive MNer )

It should get better in that your eyes will adjust again (make sure the monitor settings and screen refresh rate are alright for you), but perhaps a trip to the opticians wouldn't go amiss.

Ooh, how do I do that then? Sounds like it could be it.

Ask your IT guy

erm refresh rate is in the screen settings in my computer I think.

contrast and brightness etc on the buttons at the bottom of the monitor.

If only we had an IT guy... in more ways than one
