Facts on Eye Strain
· The term eye strain describes a group of symptoms which occur after extended use of the eyes.
· Although eye strain can be uncomfortable, it does not lead to any eye damage.
· Extended use of computers or inadequate or excessive lighting may cause eye strain, but there are no permanent consequences of this.
· Symptoms can include headaches blurring of the vision, feelings of dryness, and other discomfort, but eye strain will not damage your eyes or change their anatomy.
· Common precipitating factors for the onset of eye strain include extended use of a computer or video monitor, straining to see in very dim light, and exposure to extreme brightness or glare. Many people will blink less than normal when performing extended visual tasks. This decreased blinking may lead to dryness of the ocular surface and symptoms of dry eyes.
