Eye Strain needed, reading, studying, computer, glasses

dvilayphet

Anyone here suffering from eye strain? I went to the eye Dr about 45 days ago he told me I needed light reading glasses and I also had eye strain. I spend all day looking at a computer screen and every other moment studying my ass off.

My eyes burn and hurt fairly often at this point but I feel that I just can't let up. I think I'm where I need to be with just a few weeks to go I can get over the hump so I hate to let up and lose an entire year by scoring a band 9-10.

Lately I cannot sleep at all, the only thing I can think of is this god awful exam, this has never happened to me before, such a beating....

lolz...i got glasses when i was in school

from L1 I turned into a geek who lost many social contacts

for L2 v likely case of having either ulcer or severe back pain (already having mild back pain from past 2 weeks)

I have audio lectures on my iPhone so when eye strain kicks in I put on my headphones... not the same learning efficiency, of course, but you'd be surprised how much your brain retains from passive learning. Trouble is I end up falling asleep too often while listening to CFA stuff...

Serious! same situation here, I have done eye test 3 times this year, all recommended I take glasses asap.

When wifey complained of not seeing me, I moved the library to the bedroom every weekend. Now she sees me reading my books, no divorce threat. -:0)

My right eye is also taking strain. When I wake up every morning, inevitably there's a vein that just looks inflamed and I think it all started when I hit the books for L2.

Do eye drops really work?

These testimonials should be in the CFA brochures.

"The CFA curriculum helped me lose all my friends, made me blind, and broke my spine. But I did, temporarily, learn how to bootstrap a bond. I forget how to now though."

hahaha. This is the funniest post!
