Zodios I replaced my eink smartphone with an lcd one. I started noticing that during this 1 month trial, my head felt more overwhelmed, the lights became a problem. Like I had something squeezing my temples and forehead.

These digital lights are definitely causing me vision problems, my eyes feel sore too. This also causes me problems driving at night, now that all the cars are moving Christmas treesI saw these https://www.theraspecs.com/night-driving/

What can we do about this?

Out of curiosity, what was the reason you replaced it? Too old, or you wanted colour?

    Sunspark Just to try the lcd screens again. I already have a colored one (Hisense a5 pro cc)

    I found the lcd very good because of the easy navigation and use of maps. With the color eink one you don't have great usability, but more or less you can do it. Also, lately, I noticed something when looking in the mirror. My pupils contract and expand intermittently. Why does this happen I ask my self.

    Any new observations for latanoprost?

    bisk89, did you measure your IOP before and after treatment?

    These drops could take up to 4 weeks to give you a noticeable effect

    Lauda89 There is also a supplement that has an evident influence on eye pressure.

    Mirtogenol could lower your IOP after 3 months of usage. And there are no side effects were found. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2447819/

    You could try it if Latanoprost causes problems.

    There is also research that showed that a combination of Latanoprost and Mirtogenol has better efficiency than Latanoprost solely. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20505841/

      Just started the drops. Fingers crossed!

      19 hours ago, I used Latanoprost for the first time. Today, my eyes feel much better - there’s no sensation of pressure, and no pain at all. They feel kind of "wet," but in a good, refreshing way. For reference, my IOP was just 11 before I started the drops.

      I haven’t used any PWM devices yet. I plan to try them on day 3, as that’s when Latanoprost should be fully effective.

      @Zodios @Lauda89 by the way, I wanted to ask, do you have any found intracranial pressure problems? Is anything abnormal on the brain MRI/CT/Eco-EG?

        Ivan_P I ordered the supplement! I will give you a feedback in a month 😉

        Ivan_P I had a head MRI and an EEG! Of course I am the healthiest person in the world!

          Zodios changed the title to ✌️ Cause of my Temporal Dithering LED eye strain and an effective treatment .

          Ivan_P I never do intracranial pressure measurement.

          Just do MRI (it is ok) and duplex ultrasound for the neck arteries and veins (have small stenosis due to neck craniocervical instability)

          Glad to hear you might have found a solution, the IOP issue is very interesting.

          Ivan_P Small steps… I recently bought a car that was unusable after 15 minutes. Today I drove it for like an hour with almost zero issues. To the point where I cannot tell if this is real or is the anxiety about driving the car. I have used the drops only once per day for the past 4 days so I am little slow with the progress.

          @Zodios how long you used the drops 2 times per day?

            Zodios wow 🙂 do you think that I should also switch to twice per day?

            @Zodios @Lauda89 do you guys have an office job? How long do you sit on an average day? Does sitting position matter when it comes to eyestrain for you
