For eye strain specifically - f.lux on all computers, Night Shift on my iPhone, and anti-glare coated glasses. Combine that with getting up every 20 minutes to walk for a few minutes.
Additionally, I use some good quality eye drops like Systane Balance which help lubricate my eyes when I wake up and before bed.
A new thing I've been trying to do for multiple reasons is write out my designs on pen/paper before sitting down at the computer. This has helped with eye strain and also helped me better clarify my ideas instead of sitting at my computer and "wandering" through the problem space in my IDE.
- theSage 10y agoHow effective is anti glare? I was thinking of getting those since I already wear spectacles.
- tedmiston 10y agoI think it's something that must be added when you get a new pair before they've been used. Given my far above average* number of hours spent on a computer, I've never had a pair of glasses that didn't have anti-glare. *compared to the general population
- rufius 10y agoI think anti-glare is helpful. For a while I had a pair of glasses with and a pair without and I definitely preferred anti-glare on work days. It is something that is added when they make the lenses.
- fern12 10y agoI also wear anti-glare lenses and find them to be helpful. I use Refresh Optive Advanced in the morning for my dry eyes, and take a high quality fish oil supplement (Minami). Last but not least, I sleep. A lot. Once in a while I will stay up late watching TV, but then my eyes really feel it the next day.
- infinii 10y agoI also use f.lux. Or I'll mix it up with my pair of Gunnar glasses which accomplish the same thing.
- borplk 10y agoWhat options are out there for Android? I think the ones I used were Lux and Nightwatch. Not a huge fan of them.
