Today, my doctor told me that the reason I'm losing my eyesight is because I'm straining my eyes, and that the best thing for me to do is to limit my time in front of computers. I spent years in college to get my current job which involves sitting in front of computers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss told me I can't use the computer for entertainment. This coming from the same person who spends hours at a time every day on Facebook and other similar websites. I'm also not allowed to sit down while using the computer, which I use about half of the day. FML
Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML
Today, I've been diagnosed with an incurable condition in both eyes that is making me go blind. I lost my job and had to drop out of my final year in college because of this. Then my ex found out and stole my car since I "won't need it". FML
Today, I just spent 3 hours at work reading FML posts and giggling at my desk. For the blurred out posts, I was moving my desk chair back to read what they said while squinting. I just realized I can hover the mouse and it will be clear and not blurry anymore. Now I have a headache and got in trouble with my boss. FML
Today, I went to the eye doctor. For the past three days every time I wear my glasses I become nauseous, get migraines, and have that "fish-eye view" where everything is rounded. Turns out they placed my lenses on the wrong sides. FML
Today, I was working on my computer when my dad walks in, pointing his finger at me like a gun. Before I could even ask, it turns out he was aiming a rubber band at me. The doctor says I'll be able to take off my eyepatch in a couple of days. FML
Today, I recently woke up colourblind and so far no doctor or surgeon can tell me why. I'm a graphic designer, I went to university and put years of practise into this specific skill set, I need to see in colour or this could cost me my job and ruin my career prospects. FML
Today, I took a day off to read a book, but ended up with a headache from staring at a screen all day. FML
Today, I strained so hard trying to take a crap that I broke a blood vessel in my eye. FML
Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh you too? I double majored in Internet **** and Reddit. I dabble in 4chan, but people always post a picture of this cartoon bear when I ask for pictures?

Make a choice; your eyes or your job.

If he just followed the VSG guide lines and took his eyes off the screen for 5-10 minutes ever hour he would be fine

Anyone notice the irony? He goes on FML, a website, to tell us that his doctor said to avoid computers.

Yea, if your work involves a lot of computer time, your "social life" shouldn't.

maybe you need a bigger monitor or some glasses made to reduce eye strain

What's more important, your eyesight or your job?
iam_yummylicious 12
Supporting your family, mortgage payment, auto payment, other bills and financial responsibilities...? A Job is pretty important, but then again I guess you won't have said job if you're blind.

Its not easy to take on a whole new major. We're still stuck on what to do.

^ still do your work, but give your eyes a break every so often by looking at other things around the room, it's a bit like standing and stretching if you sit for long periods, the strain won't be so bad then.

2 - I'm surprised no one has said this before... But how could you possibly know that?? Lool.

Just take a little time off, hopefully you can find something else to do.
Daralea 21
Don't think time off work would be very feasible especially if he has student debt to take care of. Perhaps a more likely alternative it to take longer breaks away from the computer. I recommend OP taking up smoking. It forces you to take regular and sufficiently long breaks. Besides, the fresh air is always a plus.

Wear sunglasses in front of a screen - works for me!

Sucks. That would have been my life too but I decided instead to destroy my ears by noises of planes. I destroy my eyes on the side!

Yikes! I'm sorry OP.. Maybe this will give you a reason to hook up your computer to a few HDTVs. *Silver lining*

12, she is a unicorn not a prostitute, get ur shit together
The_Troller 14
It's possible to be both. It might be a bit awkward at times, but I'm sure she'll find a way.
boredblonde 17
unicorns are pure man, no way

laser corrective surgery might be a good alternative.

The years at college is nothing compared to the rest if your life without eyesight, it sucks, but should be a easy decision.

I feel your pain OP. My future job will be like yours. Wearing glasses as we speak and I'm still not out of the University.
