Common symptoms
Eye strain shows up as a cluster of symptoms rather than a single one:
- Tired or heavy eyes
- Aching around the eyes
- Headaches
- Difficulty focusing
- Dry or burning eyes
- Needing frequent breaks
What can cause eye strain?
Screen use is the usual trigger, but it is rarely the whole story. An uncorrected prescription, a dry eye surface or an eye-coordination problem all make sustained focus harder, and poor lighting compounds each of them. Presbyopia is a frequent cause after the mid-40s.
How we can help
We check your vision, your refraction, your eye coordination and your eye health, and assess for dry eye or other contributing causes — so that any advice we give addresses the actual reason rather than the symptom alone.
