A member asked:
How can you strain you eyes so much to make you have glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: The need for glasses results from an underlying refractive error . A uncorrected refractive error can lead to eyestrain, however, eyestrain cannot damage the eye, leading to the need for spectacle correction.

I have eye discomfort everyday. It strains and sometimes burn. To relief my eye discomfort, I squeeze really tight, push on them really hard or roll my eyes upwards for a few seconds. Would blue light blocking glasses with lubricant eye drops help?
