Why do my eyes feel strained during the day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like Dry eyes: Glasses up to date? Dry eyes are often the culprit of many symptoms in the eye which can include burning, stinging, tearing, foreign body sensation, tiredness, heaviness, blurred vision and eye pain. You may also be overusing your eyes without giving them enough time to rest. I would suggest starting with using over-the-counter artificial tears and a warm compress on the eye to see if that helps.
