Strain can be defined as the symptom which signals that the organ has been used much beyond its endurance. Different organs like the leg muscles and the arms can get strained. The eyes are also prone to get strained like any other organ. We use our eyes constantly and pay least regard to the health of the eyes. This write-up will tell you about various symptoms of eye strain and why they happen.
Eyes are covered with conjunctiva and it protects the delicate parts of the eye inside. The conjunctiva can get inflamed due to the vagaries of weather or after driving a long distance without eye protection. The white of the eyes and the edges of the eyelids can become red.
If your eyes are watering or there is painful blinking symptoms your eye is under severe strain. Similarly a dry eye is also a symptom of eyestrain. The lachrymal glands can also get infected and cause redness and watering of eyes. Therefore if the symptoms persist immediately consult a doctor.
In ability to focus on objects at different spots quickly also is an indicator of severe eye strain. It happens when you focus your vision on a spot for some time and then look suddenly at another. You will find that the strained eye will take longer to focus. This is a major cause of accidents while driving.
Another typical sign of symptoms of eye strain is sensitivity to glare and is more seen at evening time when the sun is low. The ability of eyes to focus or perceive depths are severely compromised. Other symptoms include swelling, burning, itching or pain while moving the eye balls. Headaches can also be a symptom of eye strain.
Most of the eyestrains are caused by focusing the eyes on one point for a long time. In modern times it is the computer screens. Any strain can be relieved by rest and sleep. Therefore get a good night’s sleep and do not focus the eyes on one point for longer than 30 minutes. Give a few seconds of rest and close your eyes for a break.
