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.

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?

[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.

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??

I have trouble sleeping because I'm thinking about compounding interest all night for what ever reason. I call it math nightmares

except for the eye strain. are you all serious? If this is level 2, what about level 3? how to survive it?

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.
