[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1156692, member: 140470"] In addition to getting your eyes checked you should try and figure out what is the difference between your Mac and Windows machine. The 3 most common culprits are brightness (too bright), glare/reflections, and small fonts (too high of a resolution). You're not the first I've read who have complained about the 27" iMac causing eye problems. It's something people forget to consider when buying a computer. My MacBook Pro was also kind of annoying to look at for long periods until I found a position on my desk that didn't produce a lot of glare. I also turned down the brightness to about half and increased the font size in every application that allowed me. That solved the problem for me. I'm also not old and I have health eyes and like you using another computer solved the problem so I doubt it was my eyes.
