Hi
I need help badly.
I have had computer eye strain problems when working with LED, LCD screens and also any kind of gaming since a young age.
But things became really bad since the age of 25. I'm now 32.
In the last 12 months I have been to an ophthalmologist - cleared me with no problems, went to a neurologist and did an MRI - no issues. Tried over 7 pairs of different glasses without luck. I cannot find out how to fix my eye strain problems which I will describe below.
My symptoms are as follows. If I sit in front of a computer screen for up to 25 minutes I develop severe eye strain which results usually results in pain by the optic nerves of both eyes. This then extends to my head which causes pains/head strain by my tempel, round the sides of my head, on top of my head and at the back of my head on the top left and right areas. Its like a terrible, painful strained nerve pull which last for days all over my head. It honestly makes my whole face severely pale with back rings around my eyes due to the nerve strain and makes me look like I have a terminal illness. and even if I quit digital devices it can last for days.
I cannot sleep sometimes because of the dull/sharp pains and it weakens my whole neurological system from head to toe. I cannot exercise and my ability to do anything diminishes until the pains and strains go away.
Its extremely severe and I was wandering if anyone has any idea of what it could be or what other scans I could go for.
I was told to do a PET scan by someone - any advice is greatly appreciated.
If it helps, the chronic medications I have taken in the past - escitalopram x 1 year, Roaccutane x 2 years
