Headaches

[CAP1]

no I fly on the big one and use the second one for multiple open windows

Edit:  I just had an epiphany.  I'm working on a new nose art for myself today and every 15 minutes or so I take a break, go get a drink, or just stretch a bit. Same thing at work.  It's a habit to take short breaks, stretch, look around, etc..

When I play I sit fixated in roughly the same position staring at the screen for long periods of time.  I can't believe I haven't thought of that before. 

Thanks guys 

god to hear you figured it out.

nother question now.........what kind of cable do you have from your puter to your tv(i'm assuming you're using a tv as the monitor?)

[Dichotomy]

whats that called?
pcmia to HD adapter cable?

why?

[Treize69]

Never really gotten them from playing unless I didn't have some sort of light on in the room behind or next to me- just staring at the screen in a dark room kills me. I have the same problem reading my iPod in the dark. Have to have some sort of ambient light.

whats that called?
pcmia to HD adapter cable?

why?

'cause i was thnking of setting up so i could hook this to my tv. 

[Dichotomy]

I'm assuming it's an HD tv? the cables are fairly inexpensive.  I have a link to an online store where you can get them cheap at work.. remind me and I'll shoot it to you Monday.  It's easy as pie (obviously since I managed it). 

Heh.. you just reminded me.  I was in Wal Mart yesterday and saw a 30 something one for $350.  Strong and firm self discipline kept me from whipping out the card on the spot    That'd make a dang nice second monitor..

I haven't had this occurrence during AH play but I cannot play a 1st person shooter because of it.  My doctor told me what it's called, just can't remember.

Lasik will correct the abnormal curvature of a lens, which is what causes nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. I'm a lasik veteran myself.

But what happens as we get older is that the lens itself gets less flexible, regardless of its curvature. Main effect is that it doesn't relax to the same shape it did when we were younger - and we loose close up ability. Reading glasses correct for this.

Nothing I've ever heard of will correct the lens itself. For what it's worth, I've found that when I use readers the muscles around my natural lens get to relax, instead of spazzing out all day trying to squeeze the lens to the position that its supposed to be in. Result? My far away vision gets better too, since the muscles don't get all muscle bound from squeezing so hard for so long.

so glasses instead of going to see doctor laser again?

[Simaril]

Yeah, laser doesn't do anything for age related farsightedness. It only smooths the surface of the lens - and if the lens is already smooth, it won't change the focusing.

When I first got Lasik, I had 20/15 vision - really good. After 6 months, it dropped to 20/25 - 20/30, so I went ahead and got retreated at about a year. After that, it stayed at about 20/25...but since each treatment thins the lens a little bit, I ended up getting the age related farsightedness a little earlier than I would have otherwise.

If you see better with reading glasses, then odds are that's where the problem is.

[Dichotomy]

yay... the only dignity I had left was vanity and now that's gone too   Thanks Sim.. 

[Simaril]

Get ones that look like normal glasses - picked up several at the drugstore or Borders. If you don't look over the top, they don't know for sure...
