I have been getting headaches from long hours on computers and laptops for 30 years. In the last 10 years my vision started to get worse, and now I have extreme light sensitvity, and my vision becomes blurred if I'm working on documents for more than a couple of hours. When I don't use the computer my vision improves, and if I have to do a lot of work on a computer my sight gets almost greyed out, I see patterns and spots, and sometimes white spots when I close my eyes.
