If your eyes become dry, fatigued, blurry, or spastic, you’re likely suffering from eye strain. You need to lubricate your eyes as quickly as possible with the appropriate method.
Some physical symptoms of eye strain include headaches, eye discomfort, sore or stiff neck and shoulders, and red eyes.
If you experience dry eyes while you’re driving, consider using artificial tear drops to lubricate your eyes and reduce the strain on them. When your eyes are lubricated, they’re less likely to feel strained.
If you have protective or prescription eyewear, make sure the glasses are clean and you’re wearing them so you’re less likely to experience eye strain when you’re driving.
When you’re in a vehicle during a sunny day, even as a passenger, wear sunglasses if possible. Sunglasses protect your eyes from potentially damaging UV rays which can increase eye strain.
Keep your vehicle’s headlights, taillights, and windshield all clean. If they’re dirty, you could start straining your eyes to help see better.
When you’re driving for long periods, take frequent breaks or switch drivers so you can stay rested. Fatigue causes your eyes to be strained which can lead to an increased risk of accidents.
Make sure your vehicle’s vents are not blowing air directly in your eyes. Air flow directly into your eyes can cause them to dry out, making your eye strain worse.
