Hi, I'm wondering if anybody either is or knows a developer with dry eye. I'm a student with dry eye and I'm concerned about how my eyes will fare after years as a developer concentrating on a screen. Does anybody else have dry eye or know somebody with them who works as a developer? Will it be an issue?
I have dry eyes, and I've been been working as a developer for close to a decade now. I use eye drops several times a week, and about once a week, in the shower, I use this: <a href="http://www.theratears.com/sterilid/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theratears.com/sterilid/</a>. It hasn't been much of an issue for me.
Start using lubricating eye drops. Also try to make a habit of blinking eyes while working on a computer as one of the cause of dry eye is not blinking enough while looking at a screen. Weather also plays role in how you feel, I feel more discomfort in extremely dry or extremely humid conditions. Don't worry, it is a manageable problem.
