eye strain

Eye strain occurs when your eyes become tired from intense or prolonged use, such as staring at screens, reading, or working in poor lighting. It can cause discomfort, headaches, blurred vision, dryness, and difficulty focusing. Eye strain results from the eyes' muscles working harder than usual and reduced blinking, leading to dryness and irritation. It’s common in today’s digital age and can often be alleviated by taking regular breaks, adjusting screen brightness, maintaining proper posture, and ensuring good lighting. If persistent, consulting an eye care professional is recommended to rule out underlying issues.
