Common causes of eyestrain include:

Looking at digital device screens

Driving long distances and doing other activities involving focusing for a long time

Being exposed to bright light or glare

Straining to see in very dim light

Having an underlying eye problem, such as dry eyes or uncorrected vision, called refractive error

Being stressed or fatigued

Being exposed to dry moving air from a fan, a heating system or an air-conditioning system

Computer and digital device use

Extended use of computers and other digital devices is one of the most common causes of eyestrain. The American Optometric Association calls this computer vision syndrome. It's also called digital eyestrain. People who look at screens two or more hours in a row every day have the greatest risk of this condition. Computer use strains eyes more than reading print material because people tend to: Blink less while using computers, and blinking is key to moistening the eyes

View digital screens at less than ideal distances or angles

Use devices that have glare or reflection

Use devices with poor contrast between the text and the background

In some cases, an underlying eye problem, such as eye muscle imbalance or uncorrected vision, can cause or worsen computer vision syndrome.

Some other factors that can make the condition worse include:

Glare on the screen

Poor posture

Setup of a computer workstation

Circulating air, such as from air conditioning or a nearby fan

Complications

Eyestrain doesn't have serious or long-term consequences, but it can be aggravating and unpleasant. It can make you tired and reduce your ability to concentrate.
