What are the signs of visual fatigue?
Blurred vision brought on by prolonged use of near vision. Eyestrain, eyes that sting or burn … Headaches at the end of the day are all signs of visual fatigue.
Why are we affected by visual fatigue? What are the sources of this phenomenon?
Visual fatigue is mainly attributed to our lifestyle: stress, pollution, computer work, television, video games, etc. Our environment and activities have largely evolved.
We’re calling on our near vision at an increasing rate and for longer periods of time. Hence, we suffer from both recurring visual fatigue and discomfort. In concrete terms, visual fatigue adversely affects our focusing while also hindering our eye accommodation, resulting in blurred vision and a feeling of discomfort.
