Should I be worried?

Hi guys, this actually freaks me out. I think I have developed symptoms of shortsightedness. Small words are kinda blur but I can see perfectly well on pictures. I do game, study in IT and repair people's laptop/desktop. Also, I will browse the web with my phone before I sleep and stuffs. I'm not quite sure whether this is an actual shortsightedness or just that my eyes are fatigued which can affect testing results. What should I do now? Should I get a prescribed Gunnar Optiks?

Go see an optometrist? That's what comes to my mind first.

See your optician, and take eyebreaks. 

Also, try not to read on your phone before you sleep! Get a book or listen to some music or something :P

You bought gaming glasses? *ugh*. 

Just adjust your monitor dude. Now everythings going to be tinted orange yellow for you. Gross. 

You should go get an eye test. Lenscrafters does it for free.

Do people really buy "gaming glasses?"

I thought that was a joke.

I actually have a pair of gunnars prescription glasses. They work really well for long trading sessions.

I have no doubt the filter reduces eye strain, but seeing everything tinted yellow must be annoying.

Not at all you get use to it. I use my normal pair when working on color accurate Photoshop work.

Just buy these if you want Gunnar's... Fraction of the price, same placebo

But really just go see an eye doctor, take a day's rest if you think eye fatigue will really affect your results (the eye doctor will probably tell you it doesn't make a massive difference)
