What can this be, any ideas? I have always felt like I had good vision :confused:
The past few week,s after only about 3-5 minutes of looking at the computer, I get the worst headache (almost to a migrane) and I have to get off the computer-It then takes another 10-15 minutes for my headache to go away! It is very annoying, but is this common, or do I need to see a doctor TIA! Jenn

I used to get that. It took me longer, like 30 mins use though. I bought one of those filters that u fit over the screen. To the glare away and its helped me no end. I would go get your eyes tested too though just to be sure.

Somtimes the Refresh Rate of a monitor is set to low and causes severe eye strain, I use to have that problem. I would suggest setting your refresh rate to at least 72Hz-75Hz, some better monitors can handle 85Hz which is so much softer on the eyes.
Here is a link on how to change you Refresh rate in windows xp:

If you don't have windows XP search on google.com for "How to change Refresh Rate on WIndows XX" xx being your OS like 98, Me, or 2000.
Hope THis Helps :)

I've had 4 migraines this past year and 3 of them happened while on the computer. I've had my eyes checked and they are fine. Doc recommended I limit my online time, darken my screen, and glasses. But I admit, I'm concerned to go on the pc now.
