Can the need for a new prescription cause eye strain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Of course: Incorrect focus causes the eye to continually search for the clearest vision leading to eyestrain. It's quick and easy to check for a new prescription - just call your ophthalmologist.

Yes: With a old prescription, you may notice eye fatigue, squinting, blurriness, tilting of glasses, etc.
