Eye strain or “asthenopia” is a common condition that may affect both adults and children. It is caused by prolonged use of your eyes without taking breaks in between.
Practice the 20-20-20 rule: Look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds for every 20 minutes of reading or watching. Make sure that your room is well-lit to reduce the stress on your eyes.
Include a visit to your ophthalmologist on your next annual physical exam to learn about possible solutions to your condition. Your doctor may recommend corrective glasses or artificial tears to treat your condition.
