My eyes feel dry and tired after work. Normal?
Very common with long screen use. It's usually digital eye strain; try the 20-20-20 rule first. Want the full guide, or does this happen even without screens?
Even without screens, and it's been 2 weeks.
That's worth a proper look. I can connect you with one of our optometrists; just share your number and preferred time.
