The eye consists of specialised parts which combine to provide information which is translated by the brain into visual perception or seeing.

Anything upsetting this delicate balance, such as prolonged visually demanding tasks, may cause difficulties. Prolonged focusing can cause eye irritation and eye strain.

Eyestrain is a common cause of headaches occurring during or after completing visually demanding tasks.

For the work place there are the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations. Your employer may pay for your eye sight test if you work on a VDU constantly.
