ThaCMaster Really interesting, thanks for sharing. I've also had success improving digestion and doing neti pot to relieve sinuses. Not perfect though.

    What have you used for your digestive improvements?

    I think I just had inflammatory issues due to issues with my gut. I think this just caused me to have more sensitivities overall.

    I haven't heard of the neti pot. I did use a humidifier a lot in the winter when I used a small heater though as it dried me out badly.

    I hope you keep improving.

    Food allergy test and eliminating those mostly. Also Triphala

      Awesome. I just came from the doctor today and got my epi pen. I might try eating fish again. He told me to start with Tilapia as it's the most mild.

      What particular things were hurting your eyes before? Was your situation severe?

        ThaCMaster almost nothing eyes. Almost everything head. Above my eyes or top of my forehead. Still have issue with some screens like iPhone and most monitors etc

          That's what I found was an issue. I got more and more headaches from more and more things. Foods, stuff I washed my hair with, screens, etc.

          Good to see you're improving in your condition.

          I am on 5 with my laptop in terms of the blue screen filter. I imagine I will be at 0 by the end of next week!

          Great to hear! Has anyone else tried this supplement and had positive results?

          Do you mean what I'm using or the stuff you had mentioned? I was just clarifying. Thanks.

          As of this morning I'm now on 0 in terms of my yellow filter for my laptop.

          On my desktop I can use all sites again, have had yellow filter off for about a month, and I'm able to play pretty much any game (I don't game much but it was the most strenuous thing so it's a stress test).
          Only Killer Instinct 2013 causes mild irritation. That game has been hard on my eyes since around late 2018, even with glasses. It isn't an instant headache day ender, but I don't mess with it much yet.

          Old school shooters like Doom and Duke 3d were the other culprits but I can handle them now (on my desktop). My laptop is a bit behind the curve as it's a little stronger on the eyes for gaming the more intense games but I'll try the simpler ones and report back!

          This has been a spectacular result for me and a life changer.

          Best regards.

            ThaCMaster Thanks - really amazing results. Wondering if there's anyone else who has tested this supplement so we can spot a trend?

              There are plenty reviews on it helping people with headaches due to issues they were having (amongst other ailments they had). This is what encouraged me to try it.

              I haven't seen it on computer forums much, although I have seen people say their headaches got worse as their stomach, diet, and inflammatory response changed. The stomach is just so complex and we are learning a lot about it.

              I will definitely recommend it here and to anyone I come across. They are pricey so you can buy a small amount to try if you like.

              I think for the huge benefits it's well worth the cost as it's changed my life around. It feels nice not having headaches anymore. I can't even remember the last time I had one. I have had some very light eye strain while I was testing new things but it's no longer a day ender like it used to be.

              Quad43 this one seems really interesting. has benefits on the Eyes and gut together

              Also I've been using blue light glasses by Ocushield.... and despite me at first being sceptical, they massively help. Any thougths as to why?

                The blue light glasses help keep filter the blue light so they have a much lesser effect. The newer ones have gotten better so the yellow effect is much less noticeable.

                Which one did you mean seems interesting? Just trying to clarify for the eye and gut stuff. Thanks.

                Try Zeiss blue-blocking lenses. They are amazing! Although the lenses have a sight bright blue sheen, everything is viewed clearly, without a color tint. The lenses don't help with my LED problem, but they do keep my brain more relaxed when I need to spend a lot of time in front of screens. They cost $131 installed in my frames. If needed, you can have them created with your eye prescription, too. Also, I found the company's history to be very cool 🙂

                Hi guys. Just an update. Hope you've all been well!

                I have a BenQ eye care monitor. For those of you who are familiar with it, it has 4 screen settings for your eyes.

                Reading Mode (easiest on eyes).
                Office Mode (second easiest on eyes).
                Web Surfing Mode (next to hardest on eyes).
                Multimedia Mode (hardest on eyes).

                When I had it at 0 before, I had it on reading mode. So I tried the other modes and initially my eyes couldn't take it well at 0. I ended up going back to about 25 or so on the next level and working up. It seemed like once I could adjust I could bring it from about 25 to 10 and then go below 10 (which is the hardest part).

                I actually got through Web Surfing Mode pretty quickly. I'm on multimedia mode which is the hardest. I am hovering just around the 10 level. If I can make it work on 0 with this it will be a huge improvement. I can use all of my other devices, however extensive reading on my tablet can be a bit irritating.

                I'm also getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. It's on the way to me. Samsung normally has horrible devices on the eyes but the non plus version of the Galaxy Tab S7 uses LCD and from what I've read is far easier on the eyes.

                I will report back when I have it. If it's true that's a huge step up. Glad more companies are using screens that are more eye friendly. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (+ version) has AMOLED with bad screen flicker so don't get that one. It does have DC dimming but it's still harder on the eyes. It is very large but may be too large for many.

                Also I tried the rebranded "Restore Gut Health". It's the same formula as ION but I decided to try it. It actually felt more potent and I initially reduced my dosage to adjust. Could just be a coincidence with that particular bottle but it is interesting to note as I've never had it happen with my other bottles.

                Hope you guys have a great holiday weekend planned.
                Best regards!

                Thanks great update. Which model did you use of Benq?

                Anyone tried HP Zbook 15 G6? The screen has no pwm, but I get dry eyes from using it after some time

                  I had the HP Zbook X2 G4. Great device for art and had no PWM but was no good after my eyes got more irritated.

                  I have been improving. I tried a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 as it is supposed to be much better on the eyes but it still irritated me.

                  I have a new laptop I'm using and I will report on it later!

                  Hope you guys have a great holiday planned!

                    (1) It was my turn to replace my old laptop at work so on Friday i got the Dell XPS 9310 2in1 Core i7 /16 GB/512 GB/Iris Xe Graphics with Eyesafe technology.

                    Connected to my trusty ASUS CCFL display via Dell's docking station, it seems ok. I used this configuration for 3-4 hours at work. I will know for sure within next week.

                    I had to use it without connecting it to an external display for 3 hours at a client's site. After the first 20 mins of looking directly at the laptop's monitor i felt my eyes a bit heavy with a light headache. I experimented with Dell's profile options (movie, animation etc.) and night light but none of these made any real difference.

                    What helped enough to get through the meeting were my Crizal glasses, i figured i could give them a try. I think they helped me in not having a nasty headache during my weekend.

                    It seems that this eyesafe technology is not really helping me. Next week i will be able to conclude if this one is usable or not.

                    (2) Also regarding to Linux, a client of ours used to operate the office laptops with Mint 19.1 (they operate their accounting software on linux).

                    Recently they upgraded all their desktops to Linux Mint 20.3. Now i get a very strong headache in 5 mins of use in the same machine as before (CCFL display).

                    I assume there are developers/IT people in this forum (i am an accountant), do you think it is possible to ask the Mint development team what changed? If we could have this information, wouldn't this shed some light as what software changes cause the discomfort? Mint 19.1 was perfect, with the combination of a ccfl display it was perhaps the most comfortable setup i have ever used.

                      Peter

                      Thanks for suggesting Mint 19.1. Its good with my eyes too. Using it for 3 days no eye strain as such.

                      My setup: Old 2011 Samsung NP350 laptop, Benq 2470 external LED monitor, Mint 19.1.
