Hello guys! Happy new year! 
This is my first post for 2010 haha. I am wishing you to have a prosperous new year. I really hope this year will be different from last year :30: Oh, I just want to say that I’m almost 1 1/2 years in blog-sphere wee. How nice is that? Btw to all my afflies and friends out there, I want you to give a simple New Year gift from me 
. You can grab it :21:
I also updated my Goodies Section :31:
I Added:
New avatars
Uncoded layouts
WordPress themes
I updated to the fullest because I know when my class starts I dont have enough time to open my PC :50:
So our topic for today is all about EYE AWARENESS. Recently, I’m not feeling well, my eyes looks so tired and I feel so tired. It seems like I’m falling when I’m typing :48: . This matter really awaken me. I don’t want to become blind :39: How will I pursue my dreams If I’m blind. My practice is, I always open my PC even though I’m not yet eating my breakfast and taking a bath. Obsessed much? My parents and I always argue about this matter. I just realized now how important are my eyes. My mom told me that her office mate’s niece became blind because of staying too long in front of PC. I was really traumatized. I even cried. So from now on I will take care of my eyes. I promise that. I even prayed to GOD to say sorry for abusing my body. I promise to take care of it. I promise! :30:
Here are the evidences that COMPUTERS can cause BLINDNESS
We all know that prolonged computer use can cause RSI, back trouble, high blood pressure and steam to vent from both ears, but it appears that’s the least of our worries, because we’ll soon all be blind and that will be an end to it.
According to a Japanese study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, relentlessly hammering the PC may contribute to the onset of glaucoma – a nasty disease which progressively damages the optic nerve and eventually leads to blindness. The researchers – led by Dr Masayuki Tatemichi of Toho University School of Medicine – tested the eyesight of a total of 10,000 staff at four Japanese companies. They found that 522 of their guinea pigs demonstrated “visual field abnormalities” – aka “sight defects” to the man in the street.
The scientists reckon there is a significant link between these defects and heavy computer use by those who are also long or short-sighted. Furthermore, 165 of those demonstrating visual field abnormalities already showed signs of glaucoma – especially those suffering from short-sightedness.
The team classified level of computer use by dividing it into blocks ranging from less than five years to in excess of 20. Time per session – from one hour to more than eight – was then factored in to categorise the subjects as light, medium or heavy users. The majority of heavy users are young men, the report adds.
The main conclusion of the study is: short-sighted heavy computer users are most at risk from developing glaucoma. The scientists suggest that the optic nerve in short-sighted users might be more sensitive to “computer stress”. Their report concludes: “Computer stress is reaching higher levels than have ever been experienced before. In the next decade, therefore, it might be important for public health professionals to show more concern about myopia and VFA [visual field abnormalities] in heavy computer users.

So that’s for now. I hope you learned a lesson from this post :21: BTW, I’ll be closing my tag board on Monday so I can concentrate on my studies. BYE! :D

Hey sis, I relinked you to your new URL! :D Congrats on this domain, it's lovely!
Anyway, thank you for the sweet gift! ^^ And taking care of our eyes is the most important thing, since we use them for practically everything, from web design, to watching movies, to see friends, etc.! Be careful, sis! And good luck on your studies!

I think it depends on the person using the computer. some people have longer and stronger resistance towards glare and radiation coming from the pc.
one tip. reduce the gamma brightness of your lcd screens. too high can cause damage.
another. when facing the computer make sure the screen is at an angle not directly facing your eyes so that you only get a glimpse of the radiation not the full blast of it.
take care! ^^
oh no!! that's scary. i use the computer almost everyday for 12-13 hours.. lol.. i need to change i dont wanto be blind

Happy New year too. All i can say is take care of your eyes.
well it's true that PC can damage eyes.. hehe. since it has this laser that affects the eyes.. *shrug* I've experience it. I used to think that PC only make the eyes tired, but nope.. My eyes got injured,remember? Haha. Idk if you read the last post but my right eye were like bleeding INSIDE.. :34: I couldn't opened my eyes clearly and it took me days to recover.. Pretty scary.. haha.
Me too, I always opened my PC before I eat or take a bath, lols. *hypnotized*
Blind is possible, but I think it will happen if you like stare the PC for 24/7 hour?? Hmm.. Oh well, take care =)
Hi Jean! thanks for the gift :D
I was aware that computers(as well as video games, reading books for long hours) affected the eyes, but I didn't know that exposing oneself to computer screens could result in blindness. Last summer I got my eyes checked because in my second semester of college I started to notice some changes in my sight. I ended up having to wear glasses, and although it may be due to the fact that everyone else in my family wear glasses, using the computer increased the damaging of my little eyes :40:
We have to remember to take breaks and relax our eyes. One of my professors told us that a good way to do that is to look straight ahead to some place that is distant to the point on which we are standing
And I just noticed how long is this comment… By the way, I recently found out that I like avatars XD I never really cared that much about them 'cause I didn't have anywhere to use them, but since I'm active at a message board I look for avatars now. So I went and checked the ones that you have and :26: I really liked the first one of Ryosuke lol and I'm starting to feel bad 'cause he's like 3 or 4 years younger than me haha
Omg, you now what else, I drank too much soda and ate too much chocolate today, so I'm a little hyperactive :P So forgive me for this long comment and the nonsense I wrote on the last part XD
WOW ZURI! That was a long comment and I really appreciated it! Thank you. btw its ok, don't say sorry![:]](http://oh-some.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/84.gif)
The longer the comment the more that I'd be more happy wee
Please comment guys. Im still waiting for your comments :21: :26: :27:
aww
get well soon with your eyes, sis!! hope it's nothing serious. just don't use the PC too much maybe, that hurts too at times. *hugs*
what a nice year resolutions list!! :D and thanks for the gift, sis. I'll add it to my site asap. *mwah*
xoxo
Scarly
OMG sis! This post is really for me! :|
I'm almost blind. Grado ng mata ko, 550! hmp
And my mom, always scold me for that.
Buti na lang, matagal ko ng routine anf maligo muna bago magcomputer.
thanks for the info. :21:
hello girl
when read ur post~i thought..i'm almost blind coz i spent my whole day in front of my computer..tsk..tsk..tsk..i need to stop
hahaha
thanks for info
)
Happy new year!
Happyy new year
Thanks for the gift :D
I agree with you, about the eye awareness.. i played comp the whole day and suddenly my head ached and everything was quite blur. Soon i needed to go to the eye doctor but i told my parents that i could practice my eye. so i have to use less comp
whatsss?! SHIIT. Im short-sighted! da hell. i didn't think you could actually go BLIND just by using the computer. damn. that scared the shit out of me. :39:
Happy new year to ya too..
I think computer nowadays have a protective stuff in the monitor..
aray tinamaan ako dito.
I hope naman hindi mangyari sakin yan kasi I also do it. Once I wake up, open na ang pc. Haha!~
@Jorj THANK YOU :D
i've been feeling that too, that's why i reduced my computer time to 2 hrs ^^
hi jean, happy new year. pasencia na sis kung ngayon lang ako nakavisit, i was too busy last christmas eh, hehe ironic right?
anyway, yeah your right about that, computer can surely harm our body specifically our eyes, my mom even brought me to an optical clinic and sad to say, ginawan ako ng eyeglasses, but its cute actually but i seldom use it. Kahit na alam natin na delekado sa mata ang pagbababad sa computer, its so hard to resist our pc right? Ako kahit na medyo nanlalabo na mga mata ko specially pag nasa school ako di ko parin naaalis ang computer sa routine ko, with all those school requirement, ay hinding hindi ko maiiwan ang pc ko. Hahahaha.
i so love your theme, kawaii….
ahhh, lam ko na, mas mabuting maglagay ka sa desktop monitor mo ng cover para mabawasan ang contrast na tumatama sa mata mo, kahit ako adik sa pag-ppc eh, mas mabuti nang ibawi natin ito sa pagkain ng mga masusustansiyang pagkain gaya ng kalabasa pampalinaw ng mata at para di lumabo ang ating paningin *yun oh* XD
kaya si jean ngayon ay hindi na muli mag-aadik sa computer XD
@ASH haha naks, napaka-makata mo ah! NICE ONE! Ayun oh! haha
Well, your post is actually the best on this laudable topic. I concur with your conclusions and anxiously look forward to your future updates. Just saying thank you will not be sufficient, for the extraordinary clarity in your writing. I will immediately grab your feed to stay abreast of any updates. Delightful work and much success in your business efforts!
Hello. This is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here
Hi. I just noticed that your site looks like it has a few code errors at the very top of your website's page. I'm not sure if everybody is getting this same bugginess when browsing your blog? I am employing a totally different browser than most people, referred to as Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I just wanted to make sure you know. Thanks for posting some great postings and I'll try to return back with a completely different browser to check things out!
Do we deserve Dimitar? I think the question may well be does Dimitar deserve us? Love may well be blind, but loyalty is always earned.
