I'm currently struggling with my eyes. Over time my near vision started degrading as I'm approaching 50, then I hit that wall where it suddenly became a lot worse and I got glasses for the first time.
But the problem is that it generates a ton of eye strain for some reason, so now I'm on eye drops probably every 30 to 45 minutes and if I don't take them my eyes become really sore and useless.
At least I'm working for myself so its less of a hassle, but taking constant breaks to rest the eyes isn't great for productivity.
- OutOfHere 1y agoI would supplement vitamin A (10K IU), taurine (1g 2x/day), lutein (20 mg) (naturally derived), and zeaxanthin (4 mg). As for dry eyes, it is often triggered as an autoimmune condition in the absence of adequate vitamin D, but punctual cauterization can help.
- animal531 1y agoI've started taking supplements to see if I can help the problem. Basically I'm now adding and removing a bit of everything that can help with or make the problem worse, but I'm only a day or three into that. I'll check out the ones you mention.
- jml7c5 1y agoHave you tried "computer glasses"? (I.e., a glasses prescription that sets the focal length at around 60 cm (or whatever your normal distance to a monitor is).) It should help with eye strain as the ciliary muscle remains relaxed.
- animal531 1y agoYeah I got some reading/computer glasses and today installed a monitor arm so I can more easily control the distance, no luck with it as of yet.
