The Problem? Eye Strain
According to the Mayo Clinic, Asthenopia (eye strain) is a debilitating ophthalmological condition. When concentrating on a visually intense task for long periods of time, the ciliary muscle tightens, causing pain that manifests itself through non-specific symptoms such as sore or irritated eyes, headaches, difficulty focusing, dry or watery eyes, blurred or double vision, increased sensitivity to light, and pain in the neck, shoulders, or back.
These symptoms not only cause one to be terribly uncomfortable, but can also decrease productivity. The pain may also be intensified by lack of sleep, a time when the eyes are replenished with essential nutrients. While getting more sleep and taking regular breaks can be helpful, there is a preventative measure that can stop eye strain before it starts.
