But for the last 1 year I have had recurring back pain and occasionally neck pain too. I also get sudden attacks of headache. I have a sinus problem at times but this is the no-sinus headache. I occasionally used to have migraines too during my teens. And about an year ago I had severe eye pain and suddenly everything was blurry. Smitha thought I was blind. The doc said [I somehow managed to get there] that I had something called CVS which is Computer Vision Syndrome. During my teens I used to sit late at night with my computer and the lights used to be switched off too as everyone complained that the light reflected through the ventilator maybe all that has compunded with the fact that I sit in front for 16 hours a day. I am 24 and feel 64 Nish Regards, Nish Native CPian. Born and brought up on CP. With the CP blood in him.

Re: Back Pain, Headaches Paul M Watt3-Jun-02 9:26 Paul M Watt 3-Jun-02 9:26  I don't understand why working in a dark room would have a bad effect on your eyes when you are working on a computer, I hear this from people all of the time. However, I do prefer to work in the dark. My eyes feel a lot better at the end of the day if I have worked in a dark room rather than a well lighted room. Some days I also stare at the screen for up to 16 hours, so I don't know. I do know that I have light colored eyes so I am very sensitive to sunlight as well, so maybe that is a factor in my case as well.

An engineer friend of mine who has a thyroid problem also prefers working in subdued lightning, as bright light hurts her eyes. You might want to make sure you don't have a thyroid condition.

Because compared to the dark room the monitor would be real bright. That's an extra exertion for the eyes Nish Regards, Nish Native CPian. Born and brought up on CP. With the CP blood in him. Re: Back Pain, Headaches Michael Dunn3-Jun-02 19:04 Michael Dunn 3-Jun-02 19:04  I've never understood the "don't sit in a dark room" opinion. The surrounding room should be darker than the screen. If the monitor is darker, you end up stressing your eyes more in order to see. (Imagine standing outside in the sun, and trying to look through a doorway into a building... hard to do, right? It's the same thing with a bright room/dark monitor.) --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer Like the Google toolbar?
