Hi,
I've been programming for some time.
and I'm having some trouble with my eyes.
It is most, with they way they look,
When I look in the mirror, my eyes look really tired.
What can I do so they don't look tired, and look more healthy?
thanks...
Actually, that's an old wives' tale, from what I've read. :) (the carrots)
Try some concealer if you're desperate, but my first advice would be to get more sleep. I have this problem myself and sleep does wonders. Usually when you're programming too much it means you're sacrificing sleep.

Perhaps the fact that carrots improve your vision may be a wives tale, but a lack of Vitamin A [produced from beta carotene in carrots] can cause loss of vision or even blindness.

Thought it's pretty rare to see vitamin A deficiency unless the person suffers from malnutrition or maldigestion.

Take breaks from the monitor, and as someone suggested above, get adequate sleep.
I found a new word today: Asthenopiais an ophthalmological condition that manifests itself through nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, red eyes, eye strain, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache and occasional double vision. Symptoms often occur after reading, computer work, or other activities that involve tedious visual tasks.
