This common condition, often caused by prolonged screen use, can lead to discomfort and decreased productivity. Fortunately, it’s generally easy to manage. Ensuring adequate lighting, taking frequent screen breaks, and practicing eye exercises can help reduce symptoms. Additionally, staying hydrated and using lubricating eye drops if necessary can also provide relief. Regular eye exams are important to rule out other underlying issues and keep your eyes feeling fresh.
