AI Thread Summary
Eye strain and dryness are common issues for those spending extended periods in front of screens. Recommendations include using eye-wetting drops available at pharmacies to alleviate discomfort. It's also advised to take regular breaks from screen time to rest the eyes, such as looking at distant objects or moving the gaze around. Additionally, maintaining a conscious effort to blink more frequently can help prevent dryness, as people often blink less while focused on screens.

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up.
