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.

    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")

    • Blink.

    • Look far away for 30 seconds between matches.

    • Make sure the air in your room isn’t super dry, if the heaters on and no windows are open this can happen quickly.

    • Visit an optician to make sure your eyes are okay, producing tears properly, etc.

    I turned my blue light filter up a bit. I never got red eyes, but I’d started getting headaches.
