Tired eyes, known as visual fatigue, affect about 60% of adults aged 20-45. Common symptoms include itchy, red, or burning eyes, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, and headaches.
Triggers often include stress, overall fatigue, dry air from air conditioning, or extended screen time. Eye care experts recommend regular breaks to ease discomfort and prevent worsening.
20-20-20 Rule
Follow this simple guideline: Every 20 minutes, gaze at an object 20 feet (roughly 6 meters) away for 20 seconds. Closing your eyes for 20 seconds every 30 minutes provides similar relief.
Recognize these issues? Book an eye exam promptly to check for vision needs or other concerns, as advised by optometry professionals.
