[olug] eye strain

[mØntar3]

set your refresh rate as high as your monitor can go... or get ocular 
implants :-) my guess is that (if your monitor is in working order) that 
your eye strain if from focusing the lense of you eyes on the screen, 
and not necessarily the display. your eyes will get stronger (the 
muscles that focus the lense), and the strain will ease. reading too 
much will do the same to your eyes. i had caterac surgery a couple years 
back, and now have ocular implants (silicon) where my natural eye lenses 
used to be, fixed vision, no eye strain from focusing my eyes ('cuz i 
can't). now, i can stare at my monitor all day without strain. w00t.

... lol. i don't recommend staring at the sun in order to get cateracs. 
in my case it was bad genetics.
