I've found that, after about an hour or so of flying / driving, I start to get a headache and if I push it too far it becomes blinding. Ya old eyes and all of that but does anybody else get this?
I can stare at this board all day and it doesn't bother me a bit but, when I get home, and play about an hour and a half is my limit.

Been having same issue no joke lol, I just go chill for 1 hour, drink a cold glass of Arnold Palmer and take an advill normally does the trick :aok
-
Had more or less the same problem. I went to the eye doctor who said that 40 y.o. it was time for glasses. You might want to make an appointment. :cheers:
-
Complete opposite for me, I can fly all day but when I try reading the BBS for an hour...

I'll quit posting just for you Krup ;)
you'd think the money I spent for lasic seven years back would have alleviated the 'need glasses at 46' bit ;) But I think yall are right
-
you could also try using anti-glare sunglasses while playing. you know the yellow tinted ones? those remove certaian levels of infrared light without reducing your vision or increasing dark shadows.

Just one question , you said when you get home, I assume your at ( ahhhmm... work ) when you read this board but play when at home, is there a difference in monitors from work and home? , refresh rate settings,resolution.... etc...etc...

HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD!

How close is your screen? Try pushing it back a bit, it will help to relax your eyes. That may not be the problem but it's worth a shot.

try changing your monitors refresh rate. i've read/heard that this can cause you problems sometimes.

a little of both actually.
a couple of 20" flat panels at work here It's a 42" flat panel wide screen as my main and a 28" flat panel as a secondary

what do you mean main and secondary? you fly on two monitors?
-
Cap1 i have 3 23 inch Samsung syncmasters in HD output, mostly used for Home designing, i do see where aceshigh can support 3 monitors, that would be nice but i dont have the desk space to do it
-

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 :aok

I do get headaches if I play too long never have any blinding though. The most annoying thing is my neck though it kinda gets stiff and hurts if I sit around not moving it.

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?)
-
whats that called?
pcmia to HD adapter cable?
why?
-
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.
-

'cause i was thnking of setting up so i could hook this to my tv. :devil
-
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 :t 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?
-
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.
-
yay... the only dignity I had left was vanity and now that's gone too :D Thanks Sim.. :aok
-
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...
