I don't use any kind of eye drops, but if I did, it would be Visine.

Any artificial tears, lubricating eye-drops are great for remedying irritation of the eyes, even those caused by allergies!

I was going to create a topic like this on this week.

I suffer the same dry eyes problem. I recently go the diagnose. Using something called "dioximethil-something 1%" a few times per day.

Also i need some help with something:

NEED SOME HELP HERE: I totally forget to blink during games. This plus dry eye is totally killer for my eyes.
I know there are some programs that some players are using to remind them to make workers, suplies, and so. I need a program to poop up during the game saying something like "Blink idiot!". Can someone post a link to any of those apps please??

I know they seem really trivial and useless, but Gunnar Optiks actually do relieve a lot of the eye strain from not blinking / dry eyes when playing. Granted they are a fairly large investment, for those of us who play a lot, they are really quite useful.

My optometrist told me that Visine markets itself well but is actually a bad product. She said to look for "Doctor recommended" brands. I tried a couple, and stuck with Systane Ultra, as it was the most effective (quickest to act and longest lasting). The others I tried were Refresh and TheraTears. YMMV

I use Refresh and Optive, which are essentially the same brand. They work pretty well whether I have contacts in or not.

I have a friend that puts a damp cloth on his eyes in between games or every few hours (depending on the game he's binging on) to help his eyes. It has mint in the water too...but I think that's just a personal preference not anything "medical."

How do other users of Gunnar's feel about the impact on eye fatigue/dryness over a gaming session? Interested to hear from you.

I use gunnars for coding sessions (and i started wearing them when i play dota with friends (we usually play for quite a long time)) and i must say they do help me. It takes a while to get used to them (im not used to wearing glasses) but they definitely help with dryness and fatigue. They are not cheap but i think if you stare into pc a lot, they are well worth the investment

I used to wear contacts before I started playing alot of computer games. For some reason, when i play on the computer, my eyes turn into googly eyes and float everywhere. Have to wear glasses now... Never used drops... maybe I should do i can see like a pro

Sigh... Gunnars are just tinted glasses with an anti-reflective coating, and slight magnification. You can find the exact same properties out of much, much cheaper hunting/shooting glasses.

That may or may not be true...either way, though, they do help

I've heard from several eye doctors that almost all over-the-counter eyedrops are pretty bad for your eyes (Visine, Clear Eyes, etc.). I personally use generic saline solution (.09 percent or something), which should be the same as artificial tears--using anything else regularly could cause damage.

Why would you EVER buy gunnars?


The program F.lux does the EXACT SAME THING

That's not true at all...all F.lux does is update your colors/brightness/whatever according to the time of the day.

OMG, do not turn this thread into a stupid gunnar advertising fest.

Btw, for anyone with dryeye plus not blinkning during games, here is the "reminder" i was looking for.

Hope it helps.
