What is eye strain? 

Eye strain is common and is usually caused by looking at something for an extended period of time. This can include digital screens or driving. Signs of eye strain include tired, burning or itching eyes, headaches, sore neck or shoulders and increased sensitivity to light.

You might choose to wear glasses for eye strain if you have to use a computer for work, if you frequently drive, or if you use your smartphone a lot during the day. Other causes of eye strain can include being exposed to bright light or exposure to a fan, either for heating or air-conditioning.

If you often experience any of these conditions or signs, it’s important that you attend a regular eye examination. You may benefit from wearing glasses for eye strain.
