Headaches

I seem to get alot of headaches I think this is because Im always Online or playing video games. Does starring at a computer screen all day have any effect on headaches?

Absolutely, Looking at a pc over a long period of time can cause headaches,
also the quickness of pop ups and the like can upset people who are prone to epilepsy. Try taking a short break and wash your face periodically. Hope that helps!

Hi,
How are you? Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS usually present with headaches, focusing difficulties, burning eyes, tired eyes, general eyestrain, aching eyes, dry eyes, double vision, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and neck and shoulder pain. This occurs in people who spend more than two hours on a computer each day. Glare screen filters, proper lighting and resting the eye 10-15 minutes every hour may help. Over-the-counter pain medications may also provide relief. However, too much of this may lead to rebound headaches also. If it persists, check with your doctor for proper evaluation.  Take care and regards.
