So far, I haven't had any problems with my eyes despite long homeschooling times.
For the last 2 weeks, however, I've had the feeling that my eyes keep seeing blurred and sometimes just start to hurt.
I have been sitting at home in front of my laptop since the beginning of October and work around 8-10 hours a day (excluding weekends).
Can the eyes really get that drastically worse in a few months?
What should I do?
With such a problem you go to the ophthalmologist.
Yes. A good workplace has guidelines to follow which regulate the lighting, the distance and angle from eye to screen and and and.
It was the same with me. Never had problems with my eyes and then I suddenly noticed that I could no longer read the things on the blackboard properly (but that was way before homeschooling).
Then I delayed it for a few months and then had -1.5 diopters in both eyes.
For you, it could also be due to the enormous burden, so go to the ophthalmologist
Yes you can. Working with a screen not only tires the eyes, it also damages the eyesight. The blue light. You should always take short breaks and not constantly stare at the screen. Always turn your eyes. Blink. Look for a near point and aim at it, then a wider one, alternately.
