FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are you suffering from eye strain?

What is eye strain? The term eye strain is frequently used by people to describe a group of vague symptoms that are related to use of the eyes. Eye strain is a symptom, not an eye disease. Eye strain occurs when your eyes get tired from intense use, such as driving a car for extended periods, reading, or working at the computer. If you have any eye discomfort caused by looking at something for a long time, you can call it eye strain.

What are symptoms of eye strain? There are many symptoms of eye strain but most common symptoms are; sore, tired or itchy eyes, blurred or double vision, increased sensitivity to light, difficulty concentrating, and watery or dry eyes.

How to reduce eye strain? 
Work with your doctor to determine if you need special eyewear to reduce eyestrain. You may even need specialized lenses, devices, or eye therapy for the activity that causes strain. Certain coatings and tints for lenses may help your eyes. Or you may find that you need to cut the time you wear contact lenses to help rest your eyes. In addition a simple way to avoid eyestrain is to limit the time you’re exposed to a single activity that requires intense focus. Try to spend less time on digital devices.
