Eye strain is a lay term for an ill-defined orbital sensation that may be related to fatigue. There may also be psychological factors. Rest and relaxation are reasonable to try as a remedy.
Immediate Relief: - Close your eyes for a few minutes: This allows your eyes to rest and lubricate.  - - Blink frequently: Blinking helps spread tears across the eye surface, relieving dryness.  - - Use artificial tears: Eye drops can provide instant moisture and relief from dryness.  - - Warm compress: Applying a warm, damp cloth to your eyelids can help relax the eye muscles and soothe discomfort.  - Longer-Term Solutions: - The 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to reduce eye fatigue.  - - Adjust your workspace: Ensure proper lighting, monitor placement, and screen distance to minimize strain.  - - Blink regularly: Consciously blink more often, especially when working on screens.  - - Take breaks: Get up and move around every 30-60 minutes to prevent prolonged focus on screens.  - - Consider blue light glasses: These can help reduce strain from blue light emitted by screens.  - - Improve air quality: Use a humidifier to increase air moisture and reduce dryness.  What is the fastest way to fix eye strain? sent from my Google Glass Edwin Y.
