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.
