Mild eye pain after long working hours

[MSVP]

Hi,

I have a retina weak spot.

When I am having extended working hours (say midnight 3.00 am) continuosly, I am observing mild pain in eyes. And after taking couple of hours rest, getting relief from this pain.

- Is this mild pain related to weak spot? or will it effect weak spot?
- Can I use any eye drops to get relief from this pain?

Thanks,
MSVP

Hi Sandra M Brown,

Eye strain from overwork will not affect a weak area of retina.  You should try to improve your work habits instead of reaching for medication.
