Computer Eye Strain and Shingles
Computer Eye Strain Remedy
Shingles of the Eye
MSM Drops to the Rescue
I work on the computer A LOT and
one of the results is that I have
computer eye strain. Getting up
about once per hour, taking a
break and closing my eyes helps.
I also try to make sure I have
good light at the computer and
that I have the fonts big
enough to see easily.
However, I recently got
reintroduced to a product
that I used years ago and
forgot about that is proving
very helpful for my own
computer eye strain.
It’s MSM drops.
Basically just purified water and
MSM. The type I’m using also has
ionic silver added.
It’s called Rich’s MSM drops.
I just put one drop in my eyes
morning and evening and it helps
so much. Helps also when I’m
driving a lot.
I heard from a woman who had
shingles around her left eye that
caused some eye damage and she
mentioned that the MSM drops had
helped her vision to improve and her
eyes to feel much better so I thought I’d try it for eye strain and also because I once had shingles on my head. It never went into the eye but it came close so I’ve dealt with some nerve tingling near the eye ever since. I’m considering this preventative medicine and also hoping the MSM helps reduce the tingling sensations.
DISCLAIMER, PLEASE READ:
The story above is ancedotal and
does NOT represent medical testing,
studies, research or any kind of proof
that MSM drops will help the eye
damaged with shingles.
My own story, of it relieving
eyestrain in my case, is also
just my own experience.
MSM drops are not represented
as replacement for any needed
medical treatment or evaulation
if you have shingles of the face
or eyes.
Shingles around the eyes is very
serious and you should get
appropriate testing and evaluation
done if you have it.
The standard medical treatment
for shingles is Acyclovir

Hi there,
I noticed I get more eye strain from glaring bright colors on my screen than from dark ones. That’s why I use a dark color scheme on my computer now which really helps. I also prefer to use websites with a black background like Speedchart and Bloomberg.
Hope this helps,
Meg

Meg:
I do have my whole screen sort of light, because I prefer it. Never thought about changing my scheme. However, I am not sure how to change the color scheme on sites I view online. I have not heard of Speedchart or Bloomberg. I didn’t realize you were talking about search engines…wow, that is sort of cool.
Just went to speedchart.com and did a search. The backgrounds are black even when you search…I can see where that might definitely cut down on computer eye strain. Thanks for the tip.
Didn’t like having to skip an ad first thing when I went to bloomberg.com but it looks like a news site, right? How cool to have these non-glaring options. I so appreciate you taking time to share them.
Most web designers do not use black backgrounds because it is poor web design but if computer eye strain gets to be more of an issue, we may see more sites like this. I still prefer pastels myself and yet, to protect my eyes, would change my site too if it came to that.
