Comment on Ask HN: Please share tips and strategies for dealing with eye strainparent

Curved monitors (reduces constant eye re-focusing on large monitors).

Isn't this a bad thing? I've been lead to believe one of the most useful techniques to alleviate eye-strain is frequent re-focusing at a variety of distances.

Re-focusing works best with larger deltas in focusing distance, rather than a few millimeters of focus distance change due to monitor curvature.

Compare flexing your arms to stretch, vs. moving your hand by exactly one inch. The former will contract and relax arm muscles from their stable position. The latter requires muscle tension to carry out a precision movement.
