horrific eye ache solution..

[keithhazel13]

before xmas i did used to get some eye ache on my computer doing normal stuff but since i have started ets2 i get terrible achey eyes and the other day i drove 30 mins in the morning, 30 at noon and 30 in the evening and my eyes were total black panda eyes and achey, i miss most of the day and then try a spell and soon the ache starts again, i wear glasses and wonder if anyone else has the problem and what solution, i looked on line and read about "gaming glasses" so rather then buy rubbish or be conned i rang my optician and they do nothing and hear of nothing like it, they do normal glasses for people who work on computers for work so is that my best chance or is there really "gaming glasses"

A bunch of us experience eye strain with modern screens, GPUs and operating systems. ETS2 gives me eye strain, although opengl is a little better than directx.

is it only ets2 that gives you eye strain ?....i never realised there was a bunch of us or anymore then me...

PROBLEM ALMOST SOLVED...
Before i saw the optician for my eye examination a few days before i turned my screen brightness UP to 72 and oddly i felt an immediate improvement, eye exam found eyes pretty good apart from eye ducts blocked that's probably from less then average amount of blinking while on computer so i have eye drops and a "hot and cold" dry eye compress.. but without starting on the latter 2 i am able to play without hardly any eye strain now the brightness is turned up to 72 plus i have the new glasses which is the full lenses of all the centre area of my normal varifocles ..hope turning it up might help someone else..thanks for all ideas and have taken lots on board
