Deleted - not happy with this post about eyesight. Please delete.
They are called screen filters. They have been around since the early days of computing. See here. The same principles apply with your problem here as with people who work around loud noises, such as construction workers. That is called industrial deafness. The simple matter is when being bombarded by any source eventually things are going to strain/break. If you find your eyes are hurting that is generally your body's way of saying take a break.Darksiege wrote:I have been playing Everquest since before Plane of Hate, Fear and Sky. All the time I played with full gamma, In my opinion this was a critical decision on my eyesight. I now have too wear glasses because Im long sighted ( things in a distance seem blurry). The short sight is fine, however I read that this is not permanent and continueing too game will cause more damage and/or loss of sight.
Im now playing with gamma at 0 (wish me luck) too prevent myself from going blind. You can also alter your monitor options for less brightfullness.
I am writing this post too warn people of my experience. I am only 24 years of age and someday you may be in my shoes.
More information is definately welcome.
P.S. I think you can buy a screen over ur monitor which also helps (more info please)
Actually, you are SHORT sighted.Darksiege wrote:. I now have too wear glasses because Im long sighted ( things in a distance seem blurry). )
It should read "however I read that this is not permanent and continueing to use computers alot will cause more damage and/or loss of sight" This is a fact of life, my dad for exmaple since retiring from work no longer needs to use his glasses as much as he used to as instead of working at a PC for 8 hours a day he is playing golf most days.....however I read that this is not permanent and continueing too game will cause more damage and/or loss of sight
