Fatigue In Eye Muscle

Strain and fatigue in the eye are common due to intense use of the eyes. When the eye gets fatigued, it begins to burn, itch or water. Conditions disrupting the eye's ability to aim and focus can lead to muscle strain and fatigue. Examples include staring at computer screens or digital devices and eye strain due to long drives. These can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, and reading difficulties. The symptoms usually resolve with rest and home care. However, some underlying eye conditions can also cause fatigue in the eye muscles, which requires medical attention.
