Cure Eye Strain from PF Quickly & Easily

[EnumaElish]

My eyes used to feel very tired after spending a few minutes at the PF, to the point where I had to stop visiting the PF pages. I didn't (and don't) know why that happened with the PF and not with other websites.

Then, I switched to LCD monitors. At the same time, put them much closer to the keyboard (less distance between eyes & monitor). Now the strain is almost entirely gone.

If anyone is reading this with strained, red, dry (alternatively, tearful) eyes, consider making these changes -- what worked for me might also work for you.

Only PF? That's strange, but eyestrain is a common problem with CRT monitors that are too low in refresh rate. Perhaps pf's combination of graphics triggered something. In any case, if it ever happens again and you're on a CRT, up the refresh rate from the default of 60.

Time shrinkage on PF because of its greatness! You think you were browsing PF only for some minutes but in fact it's been for houres!
