Its often quite like a stress head ache, but sometimes I get really sensitive to light, and my appetite goes, feel slightly sick, pain killers dont touch it and only sleep will shift it.

Ive not had my eyes checked in donkeys, so really need to do that. After that could check with my doctor I guess.

I stay reasonably hydrated, dont drink much, sometimes dont get enough sleep though with working shifts.

The annoying thing is the fact I didnt have a single one for 3 months while not playing coh lol.

Dude I had the same problem as you about a year ago. I already wear glasses but I went to the opticians about this problem and they suggested anti-glare lenses which stop really bright lights from penetrating your eyes. Since I have had them I have not had a single headache from playing CoH2 or any other game, it really helped.

Go to the opticians and find out about it. Hope you get it sorted :)

Have you considered using one of these at afternoon-night?

I use them, they do what they were designed to do.

Are you feeling ladder anxiety?


I'm wondering if a doctor could diagnose this :D

Sorry I just had to.

Did you try lowering the brightness of the game? Hopefully you find a solution for it.

If you use them aren't the color's changed because of the "orange" glass?

One thing to consider is that when you play you should always play in a properly lit room.

I can only play two games at the time. Just like many of you have mentioned, eyes get really really tired. Sometimes I concentrate on small detailes so hard that I forget to blink (!), and my eyes begin to tear.
It is important to do eye exercise between every game.
Also, I am trying not to play after long days at work because the chances to lose increase drastically.
The best time to play for me is when I'm well rested - Sundays 8-10am and Saturdays 4-8pm

I always have the light on, and blinds open during the day. I will make a point to take a few mins between games to rest eyes.

Ill give it a go lowering the brightness too.


I remember a teacher at school having an anti glare filter that fitted to the front on his monitor. I wasnt very keen on the look of it though.

the gamer's optics are yellowish, somewhat light-yellow. The colors change but you wont notice much difference, and its pretty easy to get used to.

Gunnars are extremelly worth your money if you sit infront of the computer alot. It protects your eyes from both getting damaged and drying up. My eyes already got damaged from so much monitor usage so i just cba.

If you are getting migraines try using a pair of gaming glasses. Gunnar's are great from my experience, don't get headaches anymore. You are probably not blinking as you play, which causes eye strain.

Epic fail. A top down game with sprite-like units should not give you migraines. That's FPS territory. Get yer eyes checked.
