Eye strain, a common discomfort, encompasses symptoms such as dry or watery eyes, temporary blurry vision, and headaches, often worsened by intensive screen time or activities like reading.
The term 'computer vision syndrome' describes a specific kind of eye strain resulting from prolonged screen use, but traditional activities—reading and needlework—can also lead to symptoms.
Symptoms of eye strain, while annoying, are temporary and do not cause long-term damage to the eyes, according to an ophthalmologist who cites the transient nature of discomfort.
A significant reason for eye strain is reduced blinking during intense focus on screens or reading, which leads to dryness and a host of uncomfortable sensations.
