Computer Vision Syndrome
I think there is something with reading angle too:

Reading with eyes on turned more downwards was slightly connected with greater myopic progression.&quot;<p>I had some major vision problems a couple of years ago, to the point I didn&#x27;t touch a computer for about 4 months. iPad and iPhone screens weren&#x27;t bothering me so I got to keep working.<p>My suggestion to people having severe problems is to strip apart every variable and test. A few things I have suspicions about which I have rarely seen addressed:<p>- switching between low &amp; high DPI screens<p>- lights&#x2F;screens which are not on the same frequency<p>- viewing angle (referring back to the myopia study.) Prior to a standing desk I would always lean back in my chair - going back to when I was like 11 years old.<p>From my opinion, if you took best practices and worst practices, and then like did all the worst ones you would be fucked pretty quickly. You could take someone in great health and give them chronic pain in weeks or a few month. Doctor&#x27;s advice shouldn&#x27;t be ignored, especially when something fatal may be occurring, but in many cases they may have no helpful advice.<p>Ergonomic &#x2F; RSI &#x2F; Carpel tunnel issues apply here as well. I&#x27;ve mentioned before I had severe RSI with chronic, 24&#x2F;7 pain for years, and exhaustive attempts to fix it eventually cured it. Unfortunately as I get older I&#x27;ve also had to acknowledge that our bodies get less and less capable of fixing themselves. At the least we can try really hard to do things which aren&#x27;t aggravating the decline.
