Tired itchy eyes? headaches when using your computer?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010 | Author: admin
Lately I’ve been getting headaches, and always have itchy, bloodshot eyes… somedays I get headaches so severe that I have to leave work and go home and sleep for 2-3 hours. During those crazy headaches I see flashing in my eyes… I self diagnosed it as: Ocular Migraines
So after reading many blogs and medical sites I decided to try “Computer Glasses” I purchased a set of Gunnars model “Catalyst Edge”… I just received them and so far so good I’ll report on them after a few days.
*** Update: this is the second day using these glasses and my eyes feel much better. (I’ll keep on reporting to make sure its not a placebo).
*** Update: Its now been a week and my eyes feel really good. They are not itchy or super tired. No headaches either. Gunnar is coming out with a new line of lenses that aren’t yellow for graphic artists. I might have to exchange these because I work on images a lot.
*** Update: Its now been almost a month and I cant live without them… I use them at work all day and really can use my PC without them. I no longer use eye drops there’s no need for them.

If you also get nauseous sometimes,or if worse in sun or bright light, headaches could be caused by excess bile (hence, nausea or vomiting of bile). Cure is simple. Eat rice (brown or white, no matter) between 11a-1p. Rice absorbs bile and excretes it out of the body.Bile releases chemicals that can enter the blood, cross the blood brain barrier and cause headaches or mood changes. This is an Ayurvedic cure and it works wonders!!
Thanks for the tip Dana, in my case is just focusing an object thats too close. Gunnars have a very low power magnification that relieves your focus muscles… they are kind of reading glasses for people that work 8h day in front of a PC.
