visual fatigue
Eyes need rest
Visual fatigue is eye strain and discomfort from prolonged use—reading, screen work, driving at night.
Symptoms include tired or aching eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and difficulty focusing.
The condition results from sustained visual effort without adequate rest: After eight hours of editing spreadsheets, visual fatigue set in.
Also called eye strain or asthenopia.
