Eye strain may be complex. It depends on the cause. Visit your ophthalmologist for specific diagnosis.
Eye strain is often associated with prolonged use of devices. People simply forget to blink. I often recommend a five minute hiatus from near tasks and forced focusing into the distance. For distance focusing, look at something more than 6 feet away and read it or differentiate people. That truly relaxes the strained muscles in a young set of eyes.
Close your eyes for 5 minutes every 30 minutes
