Optimum Distance to watch monitor :D

[SKREFI]

Is the distance the bigger the better? (for the eyes) I saw on some sites a good distance is about 70cm? WHat if I stay even far away ?

Personally I sit about 30-40 cm away. It's comforatble for me, but you probably have to find "your sweetspot" (lol).
As long as you don't get a headache or feel dizzy after watching the monitor for sometime, your distance should be fine.

I would say anywhere between 60cm and 90cm is optimal. If you're unable to read text at that distance, then you should consider increasing the font size or reducing the resolution.

depends on the size of the monitor and the resolution / font size
here are some recommendations:

the bigger the screen the farther away you should sit. It´s stressful for the eyes to sit too far away and too near of it also

Close enough to see it and far away enough to focus lol

I see good, I don't need to make the font bigger. I am just SUPER, VERY VERY VERY afraid of damaging my eyes and get glasses 1

well, the older you get, your eyes will get worse
that´s not just depending from your ideally set monitor distance.

more concerning would be mobile phone using several hours a day 😉

don´t excess the time in front of the monitor, if you notice your eyes are getting tired, just pause a little bit and concentrate on other things, so the eyes can focus between different ranges, than just your monitor.
That´s a general thing, even reading books and other stuff

I have 16, I am not that old 🙁

if the eyes are getting worse over time, I mean like in 30 years or so.
Don´t worry.

If you are still worrying, just go to a doctor and get this explained to you in a professional way.

Especially if you think your eyes are getting worse at the moment.
There are other ways to correct bad eyes like contact lenses

or if your eyes are just dry, there could help some special fluid

I've spent the better part of the last 30 years sitting in front of and reading a computer monitor. I'm just now, starting to need glasses to aid in reading small text within two feet of my eyes.
