Understanding eye strain and how to prevent it

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Understanding Eye Strain

What Causes It and How to Prevent It

Eye strain happens when your eyes are overworked β€” often from long hours reading, driving, or staring at screens.
Common symptoms include dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and a feeling of heaviness.
Thankfully, it’s preventable with a few simple habits and the right eyewear.

🧘 Prevention is simple

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Proper lighting, blinking more often, and computer glasses can also reduce strain significantly.
