I think I might possibly have eye strain from working on the computer too much. How can I tell if I have eye strain? If I do have eye strain, is there any way to treat it besides spending less time on the computer?

Well the red eye thing wouldn't be able to help me tell. My eyes are always red from my allergies. They do feel heavy a lot. I do take naps when I need to because sometimes I just can't keep my eyes open anymore. It doesn't feel much better when I wake up though.

Sometimes my eyes get dry when I spend too much time on the computer. I take a break and try to drink lots of water. It seems to help me if I blink my eyes alot. I also splash cold water on my face. I think the best thing to do is probably just rest them. Eye drops may help also but I don't use them because I can't keep my eye open to put the drop in.

every hour on the computer, we must rest our eyes for about 3-5 minutes. continuously working on the computer can really strain our eyes, so we must rest our eyes once in a while. that's not really a lot of time to spend away from the computer. hope this helps. :)
