Eye Strain

I've been surfing the internet the last three weeks for about 12 to 15 hours a day. But my eyes are taking a beating.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to strenghten my eyes or is there a way to heal them faster?

Eystrain is a very subjective complaint, and can be have many symptoms like Itchiness of eyes, Grittiness, Fatigue, Inability to focus at objects instantly, Visual related headaches, double vision intermittently etc...

To look at near tasks such as reading... your eyes need to do 2 things:
(1) Converge... this basically required you to contract your eye muscles.. and if done so for prolonged periods will result in eye strain
(2) Accomodate - The lens inside the eye needs to change its focus for near tasks, this requires contraction in the ciliary muscles of the eye

Any small imbalances in the eye muscles (decompensated heterophoria) or uncorrected prescription may lead to visual complaints of eyestrain... With a prescription in place either that will correct it or may require additional prisms to correct the problem

Whilst looking into the distance... you eyes do not need to converge and do not need to accomodate (unless ur long-sighted - but that needs spex neway!)

Hope that helps explaining it a lil bit!

Its been proven that most people blink less than half as much as they do normally when they are on the computer.
