Eyes don't want to focus - MT4Eight


Posted: Dec 04, 2009

My eyes do not want to focus today.  I have to actually think and make them focus on my computer screen.  I had to put my glasses on already today.  Does anyone else have this problem ever?  Is this an occupational hazard or is there something wrong with me? 

I do work a FT job and a PT job totalling over 60 hours a week, maybe my eyes are just extremely tired. 

Mine are like that, too. - Backwards typist

I've had that problem for a few years.I already wear glasses - near-sighted and astimatism both eyes, plus bifocals.

Get an eye exam if you haven't done it in 2 years. I wound up having cataracts now, too, yet doc told me my eyes are getting better because I can watch TV without my glasses and every thing is much sharper and clearer, except the computer screen.

Eye focus problems here too - ??

I have noticed the same problem for the last couple weeks now. I sit in front of the PC all day. I focus on that with my glasses just fine. Still, when I leave my computer, it is hard to focus on other things that are farther than 5 feet or so.

I think it is partly occupational and partly just my aging eyes. I would suggest the OP get an eye exam just to be sure.

EZ Eyes Keyboard
Mar 26, 2012

I type many hours a day several days a week and usually use the old clicky keyboards but thought I'd give this one a try.  Don't waste your money.  It's smaller than a standard keyboard with big letters on the keys and it's so light it moves constantly. You nearly need to velcro it down.  The touch is hard, makes your hands very tired and the backspace is in an odd position to you constantly hit the wrong key or have to stretch your pinky out a couple of inches ...

EZ Eyes Keyboard - WARNING

I went to order my EZ Eyes keyboard (the one with the yellow keys and BIG lettering for those of us who are eye-fatigued and visually challenged), and by a stroke of luck happened upon a website full of probably HUNDREDS of complaints.  Apparently, credit/debit cards are being charged in some cases TRIPLE what the amount should be.  While I really, REALLY wanted that keyboard, I didn't want to risk my debit card being hammered for 2 to 3 times the actual amount, so I decided to c ...

Harder to see the black text underneath. Shesh, these changes from DQS6 where definitely made by people who do not have to look at a computer screen all day. I will never forget the day I was looking for a specific keyboard and the computer salesmen did not comprehend why I was so picky. They had ...

Recently I had the benefit of hearing someone speak on where our focus lies.  It wasn't a talk about employment at all, but I started thinking about it today as I read through the posts on this board. The jest of the talk was that if you focus on the negative you'll be grouchy, have more pain, be less productive, and generally be miserable.  If your focus is on the positive, though, suddenly you're happy in spite of miserable circumstances. I was hoping with this forum ...
