What Are Risk Factors for Eye Strain?

Refractive error (for example, nearsightedness [myopia], farsightedness [hyperopia], astigmatism, and/or presbyopia) is a risk factor. Presbyopia is an especially common cause of eye strain. It is the inability to accommodate (focus up close) easily as we get older, due to the gradual stiffening of the eye's natural lens. Typically, people notice it in their early to mid-40s, and it gradually worsens with time.

Dry eye is a common risk factor for eye strain. We tend to blink far less frequently when we concentrate on reading (either print material or electronic device screens). The tear film that coats our eyes' surface evaporates between blinks, leaving the eyes with a dry, sandy feeling and fluctuating vision. Wind from air conditioning and heating vents, fans, and open windows can make the symptoms even worse. A large number of chronic conditions are associated with dry eye. Most common among these is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a form of acne of the eyelid margins. Other conditions that lead to dry eye include overuse of drops that irritate the eyes' surface (for example, redness reliever drops, antihistamines, and eyedrops containing certain preservatives or chemicals that interfere with the eye's tear film), contact lenses that fit too tightly, and autoimmune disorders that result in chronic inflammation of the eye's surface or the lacrimal glands.

Long periods of continuous close work without breaks is a risk factor for ciliary spasm. The ciliary muscles in the eyes that you use to focus up close (accommodate) normally relax when you focus your sight off to the distance, but with long periods of close work, they can spasm, resulting in a cramping ache.

Fatigue is a risk factor for eye strain, particularly in people with convergence insufficiency, heterophoria, or eyelid ptosis.

LASIK EYE SURGERY IN INDORE:

WHAT IS LASIK? Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis(LASIK), is a surgical procedure which is used for correction of vision in people suffering from refractive defects such as Myopia(Near-sightedness), Hypermetropia(Far-sightedness), and Astigmatism(Corneal Defect). LASIK surgery provides reduction in the power or even freedom from spectacles to the patients and is of great aid in gaining self-confidence as well. LASIK is now one of the most common surgical procedures around the world and is widely used for correction of refractive disorders. It is an outpatient surgical procedure that takes around 10-15 minutes for each eye and the patient is able to see again within hours after the surgery. The actual laser exposure is less than a minute for each eye. HOW DOES LASIK WORK? LASIK works on the principle of sculpting and remodelling of cornea using Excimer Laser(an ultraviolet laser) which delivers the laser correction(Photoblation) into the thickness of cornea.

Cataract Symptoms

Image
Having cataracts is often compared to looking through a foggy windshield of a car or through the dirty lens of a camera. Cataracts may cause a variety of complaints and visual changes, including blurred vision, difficulty with glare (often with bright sun or automobile headlights while driving at night), dulled color vision, increased nearsightedness accompanied by frequent changes in eyeglass prescription, and occasionally double vision in one eye. Some people notice a phenomenon called "second sight" in which one's reading vision improves as a result of their increased nearsightedness from swelling of the cataract. A change in glasses may help initially once vision begins to change from cataracts; however, as cataracts continue to progress and opacify, vision becomes cloudy and stronger glasses or contact lenses will no longer improve sight. Cataracts are usually gradual and usually not painful or associated with any eye redness or other symptoms unless they becom
