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.作者: needhelp1700 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42

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....作者: zephyranalyst 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42
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)作者: ryanlb 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42
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...作者: brainsX 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42

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)作者: zhaoyp 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42
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.

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."
- Mike Areersuchs, CFA
hahaha. This is the funniest post!

I dont know if its the lack of sleep or the fact that I just read this thread, but I was trying to watch CNN and the captions were NOT clear!! Off to eye doc on June 18th, maybe a reschedule is in order for pre-exam??作者: profil 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42
Nep-hi
[CYST on the back of his neck from studying????? HOLLY COW, I didn't think it was related, I'm a new owner of 4 brand new oil clogged neck cysts! GROSSS! 2 smalls ones, 2 big ones on my neck, vertically down my right side. Am I studying in a strange angle? The fiance thinks I may have cancer...need to go the doc. Been putting hot compress on it but there are not going away. This exam is killing me.]
Can't be sure if those are related, but that makes two people that I've heard of taking L2 in June who got neck cysts. I think there are alot of consequences on your body from being in the same position all day for months on end, even if you exercise once a day.
The CFA is just very unhealthy all around.作者: yodacaia 时间: 2011-7-11 19:42
i've had to start using progressive glasses this year!
but that ain't the biggest problem...
i'm usually a cool guy. but i noticed in the final month of studying for L1, i became quite tetchy...any petty matter could set me off and i had a constant foul mood. i couldn't help it.
i feel i'm experiencing that again now!
anyone with the same problem?
. the next day you can be a freak option trader..
