Thanks guys!! So, alot of my issues are computer related!! I amon the computer alot of the day with my business! Good to know its something other than my thyroid!!
Hi, I am on the computer pretty much up to 18 hours a day. I sell on ebay. I have always had the same problem as you mentioned too. I know what causes it. The screen is not just as you see it, It is like a fluroescent light. You know when you first turn on a tube light it flickers and carries on till it settles...it is the same with the screen...just our eyes can not discern that rate of flicker. I can see it when I turn my head away and look at the television, so peripherally the eyes pick up the flicker, but when you look straight at it you don't notice it. After a while the poor old brain says, I've had enough of trying to keep the eyes from going cross-eyed!
You can try changing the brightness on the screen, I find this helps. Also the contrast too.
Hope that solves your dilemma!
i too get that pressure in my forehead and my eyes feel straind.
I know that my eyes feel funky after being on here awhile. And it takes some time for them to get 'normal'. Maybe they should put a 'sezure warning' on computers, like they do for all the new video games!!! LOL
I bet I am on to something. I feel fine when away from the computer. It takes about an hour for it to subside, but when I am onhere, its not fun!! I'm gonna get the lens and give it a try. At least its not med related!!!
Actually they make intermediate lenses for the PC . inbetween distance and reading strength! It sounds like that to me .. but I'm not a doc .. just a 49yr old who wears progressive bifocals and makes this darn print LARGE on the forum and in Internet Explorer, too and that helps alot!

Naw.. I've always had this feeling even before the TT or meds! I dont think it has anything to with the meds to be honest. I think I am straining my eyes. The vice feeling I have had before too. Hmmm... maybe I am on to something!!
I get that way during allergy season .. just an off the wall thought .. PC and allergies . not a good combo for me. Wonder if anything to do with the eye muscles ? I'd ask your Dr. about it .. only since starting the new med or before then, too with the odd feeling?
