Hey DJ Friends, I apologize for not having posted recently on the dj training blog.

I have missed about a week from my DJIng, producing music in the studio and from sending out stuff to you in the video newsletter. If you haven’t yet signed up for the LearnToDjFast.com free DJ Lesson Videos then do so Right Now by clicking HERE!.

If you are looking to learn to dj, those dj videos are the best way to get started.

So the reason why I have had to take time off is because I have something called “Computer Eye Strain”. My right eye started twitching uncontrolably and this caused my vision to go blurry. I had to cancle a DJ gig because my doctor said that it was from straining my eyes too much from spending too much time on my computer!

Here’s what the doctor said and how you can stop this from happening:

So the doctor said that I can’t use a computer to DJ or produce songs in the studio or even teach DJ Lessons for a few days.

Because I use my laptop with Serato and Ableton Live to play DJ Gigs, he said that I can’t really DJ either.

To stop this from happening you should:

-ONLY spend long hours on a computer in a room where the light is darker than the computer screen. The reflection of light off of your computer screen kills your eyes!
- When you get your next computer buy one with a mat screen instead of glossy. Glossy reflects everything and kills your eyes.
- Give your eyes breaks. When they feel tired, rest them!
- Wear sunglasses in the sun.

I hope this helps!
