Eye Strain Treatment & Tips For Eye Relaxation
Eye Strain today is an epidemic. Eye strain is simple to treat and even avoid, therefore it is a problem
that no one should have to endure! A day does not go by that Jim Kokkinakis Optometrist, The Eye
Practice Sydney CBD, does not see cases of eye strain that are caused by today’s excessive visual
demands.
Eye strain is a form of eye discomfort which occurs when you overuse your eye muscles. Any muscle
held in one position for too long will strain. When concentrating on tasks such as reading, working at
the computer or watching television for prolonged periods of time, your inner eye muscles tighten up
causing various symptoms including eye irritation, dryness and discomfort.
Eye Strain Symptoms Prolonged use of the eyes
Uncorrected vision defects e.g. the need for glasses
Eye muscle imbalance
Inappropriate glasses prescription for close/computer work
Neck, shoulder or back pain
Twitching of eyelids
Air-conditioning and many more
The signs and symptoms of eyestrain and computer vision syndrome are often similar to other eye
conditions therefore it is important to have your eyes examined by a professional in order for the
correct diagnoses to be made and the appropriate treatment to be given. If you are experiencing
any signs or symptoms of Eyestrain or Computer Vision Syndrome, please contact the Optometrists
at The Eye Practice for further advice and an appointment.
