Computer monitors & flushing   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3600 of 4145 |
I am one of those effected by computer screens-- probably my worst
source of flushing, along with fluorescent lights. (and, I understand
what sits behind an LCD screen is basically a fluorescent light)

This is highly unfortunate as, like most of us, I need to do the bulk
of my work on computer! I heard this reaction was based on chemicals
in the brain, not effect on the skin itself, and could be corrected
with a pair of rose tinted glasses. Well, I got the glasses, and
they did not effect the flushing as far as I can tell.

I've had some success with lowing the intensity of the screen, and
looking at it down at an angle instead of right in front of it. But,
that is uncomfortable and hard on the eyes.

Anyone found a solution to this? Does anyone know if the old CRT
monitors are actually better for us than the LCDs? (i.e. perhaps the
light source wasn't fluorescent in nature)

Any helpful into on this really appreciated!


Regards, Brian s.

One other thought - I have noticed sometimes when I am really focused on something I can get started flushing. Something about the intense focus brings it...

Hmm, possibly, Deb. I work on a laptop... small screen... and tend to furrow my brow a bit and squint in concentration. Probably I should get a larger...

I do feel that the LCD is far better for the rosacean than the old CRTs. I recently got a gadget that measures radiation coming from electronic products. My...
