When your eyes start feeling tired, use the drops and stop looking at the computer screen or anything close for 5 minutes. Just close your eyes or stare at something far away, like outside your window. | ||

Is the computer you use on Sat the same one you use throughout the week? It might just be that the refresh rate is really low. or LCD v CRT. I find that CRT monitors are better on the eyes that most LCDs. Those artificial tears and stuff are not meant to be used long term though, I think its bad for you in the long run. | ||

Its anothger computer. That could actually be it. Though the computer on saturdays and the work computer both have LCD monitors.. but maybe it could be the refresh rate or something :O Whats the normal refresh rate? | ||

also with the refocusing every 10-20 minutes try to take a break every hour for five minutes or so, it will help heaps | ||

I was wondering why this doesnt happen when im at work though :S It could be the refresh rate, but it's probably because you're less focused at work. At least for me, when I'm playing sc I need to take like a 5 minute break and do something else between every game. It's possible that you have a low blinking rate and are focused at only one distance for 2.5 hours of sc playing, whereas at work, (at least for me), I'm pretty sure that you're not working for 2.5 or 3 straight hours without getting distracted. | ||

1.) Blink often. Your eyes get red because when you're playing a game you tend to stop blinking so as not to miss anything. 2.) Take breaks and look away from the monitor every once in a while. 3.) Don't use the retarded glare intensive monitors (although these are like antiques now) | ||

85 is pretty good, although I think the higher the better. Even these 72 LCD ones at work don't really agree with my eyes all that well. | ||

I'd suggest that if you're going to play SC for a while, obviously you're not going to stop and look away every 20 minutes or whatever, but you could just take a 3-5 minute break between every game you play. Look at something farther away, stretch out, analyze why you won/lost, etc. | ||
