Just a little post to hopefully help anyone randomly looking on the web.
A couple of months ago I developed, nausea, dizziness, blurry vision, not able to focus properly, head aches, extreme fatigue, ear ache, dry eyes and of course anxiety during all of this!
I saw 5 different doctors - two regular doctors, 1 ENT specialist,1 optician and 1 opthemologist.
I had several check ups, full blood test, thorough eye test and an MRI of my brain and inner ear (checking for labyrinthitis).
Everything came back clear - apart from minor prescription in both eyes (0.5 and 0.75)
No doctor mentioned eye strain could be the cause of it, even when I asked.
But it was!
I noticed that I would get really nauseous if I was trying to focus on something or if i was on the computer etc.
This last for over 1 month!
I got some glasses, that I use for driving, reading and watching tv and stopped going on the computer and looking at my iPhone in the dark and voila it got better from the first day but took around 3 weeks to completely get better. I still (like right now) can feel the strain from looking at the computer but I know what the reason is.
So, if you know your eye sight isn't perfect (I thought mine was) and you sit a lot in front of computer - googling symptoms and forums, and have the symptoms above plus more then it is very likely that you could have eye strain.
Sorry for the long post!
