Microscopes and dizziness

[shiva]

Has anyone ever experienced this?


I just started a biology class and cannot use the microscope. I get soooo dizzy from looking in it and then I end up with a sick headache. Has anyone ever had this? What do you figure the problem is? How can I get over this?

Hmm, must just be the way your vision is changed when you look through one makes you feel sick. I get the same when I try and read in the car, that sick headache feeling.

I've gotten that feeling as well in Bio lab - the key is not to look for long periods of time - only look through in short intervals.. and give your eyes a break when they get sore/tired.

that used to happen to me to in my biology class in high school.. so i pretty much avoid microscopes now so i dont really have any suggestions accept maybe take a dramamine cuz it is in a way sort of a motion sickness issue.. i dunno.. sorry im not much help!

I take bio right now, and I don't feel sick exactly but i feel sort of dizzy. I also think that it is because you have to change your vision a lot and i sort of go cross eyed when i look through the microscope.
