Dry eye from not blinking enough During Game Play
Sometimes when I play games that require a lot of focus (CS, Starcraft 2) after 10-20 minutes of game I notice that my eyes are red, from not blinking enough.
If this happens to you too how do you prevent this from happening?
I know I have to blink but it's hard to remember to do that every 15 seconds when you fight with 2 armies of Protoss and Zerg.
Question from user Alexandru Luchian at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Try to keep your environment and yourself properly hydrated. (It's probably easier to keep your room/apartment/house whatever hydrated; drinking enough fluids while playing games like the ones you mentioned can cause other issues .) If you're not blinking much as it is, dry air and dehydration can make things worse. Think about getting a humidifier that you can run during long sessions, and do what you can to keep fluids in without constantly having to go to the bathroom.
If you wear glasses or contacts and have the choice, wear glasses. Having contacts in will just make the symptoms you describe worse, because now you have to keep both your eyes and the contacts moist. .
