What causes your eyes to get tired when staring at a screen for a long time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Not blinking. Dry eyes. Not allowing the eyes to accomodate to a different depth/focus. Closing eyes or placing a time limit on screen time and looking at objects at different locations inbetween screen viewing may help.
