I have an electric hot eye compress
wizardresearch.com/…/dry-eye-relief-mask-electric
It’s over priced for what it is but it’s the ones my doctor recommended and I haven’t found a better one. I often will put a damp paper towel on it for moistness
The doctors office itself uses a microwaveable version. The important thing is to use it for at least 7 minutes

I’ve been using computers heavily for over 2 decades
trieyecare.com/…/electronic-devices-and-dry-eye/
My eye doctors have impressed on me the importance of eye lid health and hot eye compresses. They say everyone should do it twice a day
I’m not sure if I’d go as far as to reccomend that (plenty of people do fine without it) but my eyes get gunky FAST if I skip hot eye compresses

The doctors say it’s common for screen starers. It’s certainly not going to be everyone but I’ve been playing video games/using the computer heavily since I was a kid
My doctor’s practically predicted I was a programmer when they saw the problems I was having with styes and dry eyes

The other commenters are well meaning but don’t really know what they’re talking about. I have chronic dry eye from staring at screens too much (remember to blink!). My tear ducts have gotten overworked and started to produce thicker, gunkier, tears which blocked them and cause styes. I’ve lost a bunch of my tear ducts. Once they’re gone they don’t grow back.
These little mites eat the gunk my eyes produce and, when they get overpopulated, leave a ton of gunk on your eye. It’s called blepharitis

I’ve had it so bad that I’ve had trouble opening my eyes in the morning. There’s a relatively new eyedrop that clears them out. Combining that with hot dye compresses and lid scrubs have helped keep them under control and has drastically increased my eyelid health
I hope that helps answer your question

Source? Not to say they aren’t putting in a ton of effort and making great progress. It’s just hard for me to see them as the biggest force in stopping global warming when China built an entire Germany of electrical capacity last year and almost all of it was renewables
Their manufacturing leadership has brought solar and wind down so cheap that it’s no longer economical to use create non-renewable generators in most cases. They’re also doing a fantastic job producing new electric cars and industrial scale batteries
China is still massively polluting but they’re showing a kind of leadership on climate change that I wish I saw in America
I’m curious to hear your take on why Europe is doing the most on climate change

The boomers in my life are starting to come around with it but they believe and combination of
- it’s not man made
- it won’t be as bad as people say/we can’t know the future
- green tech like electric vehicles are too expensive
The first two are frustrating but don’t really matter if we can engineer our way out of three. My dad got solar panels because they would pay for themselves eventually. I’m not saying we can just green tech our way out of the climate crisis but if green tech gets good enough it will go a LONG way
These are just anecdotes from interacting with my family. Your mileage may vary

The book The Quantum Magician makes this mistake
The protagonist has a quantum brain and to use it they have to turn off their consciousness in order to not collapse the superposition. I face palmed whenever they mentioned it
