Eye Strain: Eye strain can come from reading, computer use, or any near visual task. If you are getting symptoms after only a brief time, you probably need reading glasses, which is common in the mid-40's. Varying the viewing distance can help and avoid getting too close to the screen. You may need an eye exam to see what prescription is needed. Eye dryness can worsen symptoms as well.

Between February and April 2022 my IgG dropped by 113mg/dL and my IgA dropped by 8.3. Both still within normal range but both dropped in a short period of time. Is either drop significant or something to keep an eye on? IgM was low both times at 40?
