Naturally, my eyes do tire but I always try to keep them limber by performing blinking exercises, using warm compresses and on occasion, dunking my head in a sink full of water.

I have a full time job that requires me to be on the computer all day (or most of the day at least), too, so I really shouldn't be on the computer at night. and yet...I'm addicted! ;)<br /><br />Still, I do try to do other things like, errr, watch TV ('cause that's good for the eyes, right? haha) and read (another eye-straining activity. damn it!).<br /><br />One good way to revise is to print out your novel. But I understand if you're not at that point yet, i.e. you know you have to cut out huge chunks & don't want to print out the novel with those chunks still in it.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381195109897308034.post-8575754419397844542012-02-22T23:59:23.096+00:002012-02-22T23:59:23.096+00:00They might be an over-the-counter thing, but perha...They might be an over-the-counter thing, but perhaps a trip to the pharmacy is in your future. <br /><br />I do feel a lot better today.
