What does it mean when u stare at a computer for a long time and eyeballs start to hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Means u need a break: Staring at a screen can cause problems (temporary) with focusing, can cause headache, eye strain/eye pain. Take a break every so often, focus on distance, close and squeeze eyes shut; don't stare; use good lighting.
