I already have a number of -6 D but that is mainly because I'm using spectacles since my childhood.
I try not to sit for too long in front of the PC and try to have a lot of healthy food & drinks.

I use f.lux, contrast on 45/100 and brightness on 5/100. I've also set my default page zoom on 150% and try to sit as far as possible from the monitor.
Most annoying for me is the brightness, I the day time it's OK even if it's a little higher but at night anything more than 5/100 it's like looking at a lightbulb.

So f.lux really helps??? What it do?
sry i mean get a lcd with led backlight or IPS panel (asus mx279h is great IPS monitor)
Your eyes never really focus when looking at monitors, so make sure you glance away and stare at something in real life for an extended period (and as often as possible). Also take breaks, go outside, get off the computer. Most business to be had you will not find staring through this time sucking device.

Yeah, I squeeze my own juices. They really are amazing, especially carrot juice.
Thanks for all the replies. From now on I will take this more seriously and take breaks regularly. I guess the well known 20-20-20 rule is the key.

I don't think F.lux will be enough if your eyes keeps getting worse each year. I think the problem is in your monitor. Try to lower your contrast and color setting in your monitor. Set it to less than 40 %, and lower in by 2 for each hour your sit in front of your computer.
If that doesn't help, try consult in a real eye health forum, not in BHW

My eyes are fine but the 15 years of PC-abusement (13 years just gaming lol, what a waste of time) ruined my back ...
I go out for a smoke every 45 Minutes or so, maybe that is what keeps my eyes from getting crushed

I just got the Google Chrome Extension "Clearly" (from evernote), and it's actually amazing for reading on the computer. It takes the content of the page and formats it so that it's easier on your eyes to read than from a website. It works for pretty much everything in terms of reading and browsing. At first I thought it wouldn't make much of a difference, but TRUST ME, it did.... I mean I at least find it much more enjoyable to be reading using Clearly on many sites than to read off the sites with all different spacing, fonts, and colors (whether their good or not, our eyes have to adjust over and over, right?).... its just simple black and white text and consistently formatted.
It may not be the complete solution to protecting your eyes, but I do feel like my eyes are less heavy for the last week.
