Q: Anybody else have problems looking at the retina displays?

I don't know what it is, but I simply cannot read for too long on any retina display laptop from Apple. This really bothers me. I have perfect vision and there is nothing wrong with my eyes. I even had my eyes checked just to be sure. I have bought over 6 different MBP's 13 inch and 15 inch just playing around with them. Each time after about 30 minutes my eyes start seeing blurry like. Also when i get up from machine and walk around the house, I see lightning flashes in front of me? Like I am on meds or something, but this is not a funny matter. I really want to make it work, but just can't. I have bought antiglare cover for monitor and reduced brightness, and anything else you can imagine. Even a few days after using them, I still get light flashes in my eye, accompanied with slight headaches and even styes growing on my eyelids. Once I return the machine and stop using anything retina, after about a week this problem subsides. I have been testing this for the past 3 years.

 

So i am back to the MBA which is not retina but I have no problem with them at all. One more thing, I went to play around with the retina iMac in store, and same thing happened. Anybody else out there with this same problem, or is it just me? So I do not even know what will happen if Apple makes everything retina? I guess it is now only MBA for me, and then mac mini with external display.

 

If anybody out there has this same problem, it might be a wise move from all of us to buy MBA 2016 before they switch over to retina.

 

Note, I do not get this feeling with iPhone or iPad.

 

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance for anyone to look my post.
