What Is Eye Strain?

Eye strain is a common phenomenon many people can experience after spending time doing visually-demanding work like reading, working on a digital device, or even driving.

Although the symptoms are irritating, they generally aren’t a cause for concern. However, chronic symptoms may indicate another issue affecting your eye comfort. If you struggle with maintaining your eye comfort, please get in touch with us today.

Management Strategies

Some of the most common eye strain symptoms can include:

  • Redness
  • Blurry, watery vision
  • Headaches
  • Light sensitivity

But eye strain can also affect your neck and shoulder comfort as well as your ability to concentrate. Please look at these tips to see how we can help soothe your discomfort.

When it comes to eye discomfort, eye drops are among the most common remedies patients may use. However, not all eye drops are the same; some may contain certain ingredients that may not be suitable for your eyes.

Before using over-the-counter eye drops, please book an appointment with our team so we can help recommend a suitable product for your eyes.

In some cases, the simplest answer is the most effective.

If your eyes feel uncomfortable after spending time doing visually-demanding work, you could try the 20/20/20 rule to help manage your symptoms.

Every 20 minutes, spend 20 seconds looking at something about 20 feet away. This exercise gives your eyes a chance to blink and readjust so you can get back to work more comfortably.

Location and desk ergonomics can also affect your eye comfort. To help manage the risk of experiencing eye strain, remember to:

  • Minimize glare from your screen.
  • Sit somewhere where wind or blowing air won’t affect you.
  • Place a humidifier in your work area.
  • Adjust your monitor about an arm’s length away and below eye level.
  • Adjust your screen brightness to match your room.

One of the most effective ways to help manage eye strain symptoms is to make sure you have regular eye exams. We can help ensure your lens prescription is up to date and look for potential conditions that may affect your eye comfort.

Is Dry Eye Connected to Eye Strain?

Dry eye and eye strain share several different symptoms, but are they related?

It’s possible, but we won’t know until you visit us for a comprehensive eye exam. During the exam, we’ll take a detailed look at the systems responsible for keeping your eyes comfortable and determine if a dry eye condition may be contributing to your eye strain symptoms.
