Eyes feel strained when looking at close objects?

Question

Whenever I read a book or look at something close, my eyes REALLY hurt, like, they feel very strained, I can still see fairly clearly, it's not blurry or anything, but It just hurts a lot. I don't think it's near/far sightedness because nothing goes fuzzy it just hurts. What is this??

Thanks

Answer 1

I would see a doc anyway. You don't say your age. Could be just eye strain if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer. Could be something else.

Answer 2

Guess its time to go and see Optometrist.

They will be able to help help out and suggest a few things. If you are a student and need to do lots of reading, then eye muscle strain will cause hurt that you are expereincing.. again have a check out at the Opto and they have solutions for u

Answer 3

Visit your local optician. It could be something as simple as you needing glasses or it could be something more serious. U won't know until u see a trained professional. I had a similar condition, in my case it turned out to be a detached retina in my left eye. I had it treated in time and prevented blindness in that eye.

You may need glasses, But if you are looking close up for long periods of time thats normal and nothings wrong,
