Conversely, ClearType gives me almost instant headaches. My poor eyes just can’t focus on it; I need clearly defined edges.

Also CRT monitors are known for being large, heavy and bulky but they are known to have less of an extreme straining effect on the eyes. therefore although they may not be as new or widescreen, they are ideal for anyone who looks at their monitor for 8 hours a day.

My best suggestion for anyone still having eye strain (other than a routine eye exam to assure you dont need lenses or a new prescription if you already have them) is to work in a room that does NOT have florescent lighting. unfortunately most offices DO… this is why in some conference rooms have both regular and flourescent lighting on different switches so you can have whichever you need for your application. florescent lights also pulsate and generally at a different frequency or cycle then your monitor which means your eyes are twice as boggled. viewing a pc screen in front of you in combination with a large projection screen such as in a classroom environment AND having florescent lights is like 3 times the abuse… just fyi

*anyone who wants to see the refresh rate:
pull out your camera phone and act as if you are going to take a picture of your monitor but look at the monitor through the ‘viewfinder’ voila! you are looking at the monitor refreshing itself in a continuous cycle.

Hello. I just purchased a MacBook Pro a month ago and I am having serious problems with my eyesight and headaches. This is the first Apple product I ever use and I never had any problems with PC’s. I’ve gone into the Apple store and they increased the refresh rate. They said it’s the first they ever hear about headaches related to refresh rates.

The problem hasn’t gone away and I feel it’s worse. Can anyone give any suggestions related to Mac’s??
