Can eye strain cause headaches?

By

When was your last eye exam? 

Many people who suffer from headaches often suspect that their eyes are responsible for their headaches because they stared at the screen all day long and often their right eye strain has succumbed. 

Has your routine changed Headaches often occur because people will have a proper posture they don't sit straight they are too close or too far from the screen they squint their eyes and they tense up their neck and shoulders and all that results in eye strain headaches. 

Do you notice eye strains as the way wears off?

Headaches are particularly common in people who have astigmatism that's an abnormal vision, it's not nearsightedness or farsightedness but it's a problem with the optical axis which can be fixed with made off with the glasses. 

So if you find yourself squinting or if you are sitting too far too close to the screen and you find that you have frequent headaches it is worth checking or with an eye doctor. 

Sometimes the eye doctor finds nothing wrong with your eyes in which case is probably just improper posture or just looking at the screen for long times long periods. 

Too much screen time is bad for your eyes

Eye Movement Dysfunction

By
The rotational movements of intorsion and extorsion are necessary to keep a viewed object stable and positioned on the appropriate part of the retina as the head is tilted from side to side. To illustrate imagine standing upright and looking at an arrow that is pointing superiorly.  Now tilt your head 45 degrees to the right, does the arrow move with your head? Now point at a 45 degree angle, hopefully not. Because of intorsion and extortion the arrow should still appear to be pointing superiorly. In this case the right eye has been intowarded and the left eye has been equivalently extorted so that the image falls on the same part of the retina as before the head tilt. Obviously our eye has a limited range of intorsion and extorsion. They cannot spin completely around within the orbit. And if we were to stand on our head the arrow would appear to change direction and appear to point inferiorly. Now, lets look at the movements produced by each of the extra oculum muscles. Medial and...

What does 20/20 vision actually mean?

By
What does it mean when you have got 20/20 Vision? 20/20 Vision is a term coined from an in office test to determine visual acuity or clarity of vision.  If we're getting technical, the term 2020 actually refers to the size of a letter, a person can read when they are 20 feet away.   When you walk into the exam room, and you see the Big E on the top of the chart, that's a 2200 letter. The next line down is 2100 and so on and so forth until you get to that small 2020 line, which is actually optimal vision that we check for in the exam. When patients have trouble seeing smaller letters on the eye chart, glasses and contacts can be prescribed to correct vision to a point where the 2020 line becomes focused.  Measuring visual acuity is important, and is used as a way for your eye doctor to standardize how you're seeing over time.  It can be used as a comparison tool from exam date to exam date.  For example, if you saw 2020 last year, and you're seeing the 2030 ...
