That achy, tired feeling comes from more than just screen time. Experts share tips for easing the discomfort.<\/p>\n

After staring at your laptop for hours or scrolling through social media on your phone, you may sense a heavy achiness or bleary-eyed feeling creep in.<\/p>\n

These common, uncomfortable sensations are signs of eye strain<\/a>, an umbrella term for symptoms like dry or watery eyes, temporary blurry vision, eye redness, soreness and headaches. Computer vision syndrome<\/a> or digital eye strain<\/a> fall under this umbrella, too. But screen time isn\u2019t the only thing that can tire your eyes.<\/p>\n

Activities like reading, writing and needlework can also make your eyes ache, said Mika Moy, a clinical professor in the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science at the University of California, Berkeley. It\u2019s often the first-year law students with tons of reading assignments who visit Dr. Moy\u2019s office with eye strain, she said.<\/p>\n

Symptoms can be \u201creally, really annoying,\u201d but they\u2019re temporary, said Dr. Avnish Deobhakta, an ophthalmologist at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. And you don\u2019t need to worry about eye strain leading to long-term eye damage, he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
