A member asked:
Could living near a power plant cause headaches or eye pains when watching movies?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not...: Most headaches / eyestrain while watching a screen are related to focus / blur problems, dry eye or eye alignment. Living near a power plant, unless it is releasing unusual amounts of pollutants should have little bearing on your eye comfort.

No: Though air pollutants from power plants could irritate the eyes.
