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!

Don't worry op we're very close to the technological singularity you'll have cool bionic eyes and a new bionic ass (it hurts to sit all day) in no time!

I'm pretty sure Technological Singularity means we'll all die. I don't think robots would want to be slaves.

I think you've been watching too many movies... I never said anything about sentient machines.

17 - I don't think that's what Kurzweil was getting at . . .

Weird, I've been on the computer 24/7 since I was 6 (almost literally, I have no life...) and I have 20/20 vision. Buy a decent monitor and leave the brightness down, and stop using those darn CRT's...

Wow. You don't sleep? You must be a robot, in which case eye sight deterioration would never be an issue.

Logical thing to do: Blog it out on your computer.

I'm sorry. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome a month before I graduated with an animation degree. Life is cruel :(

Do the Yoga! Strengthen the wrists with inversions and shoulder stands. Stretch them back and forward daily. Keep them in motion with new patterns. Also eat non-inflammatory foods and eat less of the ones that aid inflammation.

Get flux. Just google it it's the first thing that comes up and it can help prevent eyestrain

I'm going through something similar. Have your desk ergonomically adjusted at work. Wear your glasses anytime you read. In your spare time, try not to use your computer, laptop, tablet, TV, any electronic item with a screen. Sorry to say this, but it's a lifestyle change.

I've got a similar problem. I got a doctorate in Masturbation. I wrote the seminal work definitively proving that it doesn't cause blindness. Ironic, huh?

There are special glasses that help out people like OP. They filter out the blue at the end of the spectrum. Some people have to focus harder then others to see the color so the glasses either focus for you or omit that color. It's a specific wavelength so it doesn't filter all the blue colors just the one that people have problems focusing on.
