Hello XXXXXXX

It's not uncommon for people who spend a lot of time looking at screens/electronics have some eye strain. It's recommended to schedule yourself time where you rest your eyes or look away in the distance to help prevent this. If it persists in spite of giving your eyes frequent rests from looking at a screen, then I recommend you make an appointment with an optometrist. He or she can do an exam of your eyes to see if your refraction is normal or needs correction with glasses or contact lenses. They can also check for glaucoma. If you are experiencing eye pain, however, you should go to the ER and not wait, but that doesn't sound like what is going on for you. Most likely it is eye strain from the extended screen time.
