Does working nine hours a day on a computer promote excessive blood pressure, eye pressure, or mental illness?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have pressure around my eyes, which makes it difficult for me to focus and pay attention to what others are saying around me; my eyes do not move quickly enough; I have a significant depressive illness as well as high blood pressure; and my eye problem began gradually three years ago. I went to the government hospital, and they gave me a prescription for power glasses and advised me to do a perimetry test, which I did; please see the results and additional medications. I got glasses, therefore I am no longer having computer problems. I work nine hours a day on the computer at the workplace. Kindly help.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Your blood tests and perimetry are normal (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). Your specs are also okay; however, I recommend making some lifestyle modifications. Walking, meditation, and dietary adjustments are among the examples. Take antioxidants and utilize lubricating eye drops regularly. For screen work, adopt the 20-20-20 rule. Everything is fine. Avoid getting concerned.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I did not observe the ocular pressure measurement stated in your prescription. Could you please get your IOP (intra-ocular pressure) measured? Then, if necessary, we can begin some meditation. Use lubricating eye drops till then.

I hope I have answered your question.
