Playing video games for a long time without a break can cause eye focusing problems, as well as eye irritation. Make sure to take frequent breaks while playing video games. Even a five-minute break every half-hour will help prevent eye discomfort. And you may do some relaxing eye exercises such as palming. First, rub your hands together until they feel warm and then place them over your closed eyes. Secondly, sit quietly for one to two minutes with your hands over your eyes.

When you focus on playing video games, your eyeballs move less which may directly intense the eye muscles. If you keep on doing this for a long time, the eyes may feel tired and vision may get worse. You should have the rest and use the eyedrops to release the symptom. In addition, you should eat more food with vitamine A to be helpful for the eyes.

Well, I used to have the same problem with you, which made me very depressed you know? Anyway, from my personal experience, as a veteran video game player, there are several things you should do if you determine to change. Try to take longer breaks between two periods, during the breaks, drink more water, and breathe more fresh air. But, actually, the only way, yet the best way to reduce eye strain is to play less games. Hope you find it useful.
