The problem is work, after 1.5hrs of using a monitor and thinking hard I get a headache on the right side of my face/temple and after 4 hours I've had more than enough.

I've recently been prescribed prism glasses as my convergence is insufficient. These haven't helped yet and I've done 4 shifts at work using them!

I had a meeting at work today with HR, they are getting occupational health involved to try and determine what they can change to get me working for longer, I feel it may be crunch time soon and I might lose my job

My mental function is still great, I can think about technical things at work and resolve problems for people, but the monitor usage is the limiting factor...

Has anyone with these symptoms fully recovered and if so in how long? If i get the sack I may consider not working until the issues are fully resolved if that won't be too long.

The most frustrating thing about this is there is no real prognosis, the NORA optometrist said it can take years not months to get better, like maybe 4 or 5 years... I can't not work for that long!
