MedHelp Member's Question

Pain from eyes after reading.

Tags: eyes, hurts, reading

After I read or have been on the computer for not even a long time my eyes start to hurt. There is no blurred vision because I can still read perfectly fine.So I was wondering if you can help me.

You need a medical eye exam by an Ophthalmologist. Your problem could be due to needing glasses, an eye muscle problem called convergence insufficieincy or dry eyes. Find an eye MD at www.aao.org
