QUESTION ABOUT EYES

[micaturtle]

I have been getting headaches more and more frequently at work, so I wonder if maybe I need reading glasses. I am wondering if there is any way to tell if your headaches are from reading while needing glasses or from something else. I wonder because my vision never goes blurry (so I think I'd pass an eye exam just fine) but the headaches persist, and they seem to happen whenever I'm at work (where I do a lot of reading and looking at a computer screen) Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas?

Everybody seems to be seconding what I already said about this. You've told me that you don't take proper breaks at work, that you just read websites and post to LJ and message boards bit by bit throughout your shift. Perhaps you might want to consider taking a proper break away from your office and computer at least once a shift.

Also, given what you've told me regarding your family history with vision troubles around the age of 30, you could check with an optometrist as well just to rule out anything else.

... or you might end up needing a patch like Pirate Raph in my icon. Hey, you never know! ;-)

Take care,
