Why do your eyes hurt after looking at a computer?

Question

if you look at a computer for a long time, then close your eyes they kind of burn. There is no point to this question. i was just curious :]!! thanks!!

Answer 1

dun stay on the computer for too long..the radiation can seriously damage ur eyes

Answer 2

You are not blinking normally when you stare at a computer screen, so your sclera (whites of your eyes) dry out faster.  That's at least part of the burning sensation.  Eyestrain also occurs because forcing your eyes to focus close-in.

Answer 3

My eyes usually hurt more when im on the computer in the dark. it might have something to do with the fact that your staring at a bright object for a long period of time. try either turning down the brightness on your computer or mabey having more lights on while your on the computer.

:]

Answer 4

mine dont...then again im on the comp for 5-6 hrs a day

Answer 5

Your eyes focus on the computer and they hurt more. Its recommended that about every 20 minutes you look away from your computer to refocus. Also if you go to a chiropractor they can tell you what type of job you have if you tend to work at a computer due to the way your back is shaped while squinting at the computer.

Answer 6

yeah mine do.

I dont have great eyes anyway.

But they burn a little for a sec and then they are fine.

But they get tired a lot when I am at the computer.
