Symptoms of Astigmatism Include Computer Eye Strain
Astigmatism is caused by irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens. It can be treated through the use of corrective lenses, including contacts.
Symptoms include:
- Blurred or distorted vision at all distances
- Photophobia – sensitivity to light
- Headaches
- Excessive squinting.
- Constantly closing of the eyes
- Eye strain – occurs more often when the eye has to focus for long periods, as in reading from paper or a computer monitor
Computer eye strain is associated with this condition: computer eye strain can cause or exacerbate astigmatism or astigmatism may worsen the symptoms of computer eye strain. For more on computer eye strain and how to prevent it, click here.
