    Well, I have to say yes. There are long term effects of eye strains. For example, it can put stress on the eye muscles and the facial and scalp muscles, causing pain and headache. And what is worse, it can lead to making your vision become worse. And finally, you have to wear glasses. Of course, if it is a long time, eye strains can make your eyes become dry. So anyway, just do something to heal it and prevent it. For example, you should know that Eye strain is actually the strain of the muscles controlling the eyes. Strengthening these muscles with a series of eye exercises will be a good way. And also you can drop some eye drops on your eyes. Besides, controlling the time you use eyes and the good position and lighting are also essential.
