Literally only happens in the new Call of Duty MWIII…

I’ve played video games all my life and have mainly been a Halo player. Only after 3 matches of COD, one of my eyes becomes extremely red and irritable. No other games besides MWIII causes this

Anyone know why this is happening? Any tips?

    Someone filmed me playing Winston on Overwatch and I didn’t blink for a minute or so. Gotta jump and zap. So yeah I think it’s blinking, maybe poor sleep if you play games right before bed, too.

    Drink more fluids, blink more, and acknowledge you’re getting older and your body is slowly breaking down

    Get your eyes checked. You need glasses. You don’t realise how bad your eye sight is until you get glasses and can actually see well.

    1. Play a few less matches.
    2. take breaks between them.
    3. Let your eyes relax by looking at distant objects every few minutes
    4. Get an eye exam and probably some computer glasses.
    5. Don’t do eye drops unless you really have to for a medical condition.
    6. Like everyone else says, try to blink more in games.

    Use hydrating/decongestant eye drops and take at least a 5 minutes break every hour. During the break don’t look at screens: take a walk, read something, look out the window, eat something. It’s just 5 minutes.

    If it gets red and stays red, it might be a conjunctivitis. You would need some kind of disinfectant/antibiotic eye drops or cream for that.

    Idk if this helps everyone but does for me, lowering brightness down by a lot

    If I’m gaming during the day my monitor is from 100-70% and at night i take it down to 40-20%

    I think monitor is fairly bright (odyssey g7 32")
