  • Using a computer with limited arm control/strength

    Since I use the computer often, I do get a lot of pain in my shoulders and arms when I spend a good amount of time at my desk. My laptop is my go-to when I’m writing to help alleviate some pressure.

    Do you experience anything similar? Do you have any tips or recommendations for those who use the computer often?

    I too spend a lot of time in front of my desktop, doing Internet stuff, gaming, watching videos, etc. No pain, but plenty of eye strain. I use eyedrops every night, use an eyelid cleanser, and take lutein. Also follow the 20-20 rule! Every 20 minutes, take a 20 sec break from the screen.
