Eyestrain and Migraine Investigations
Vision is demanding. We take the time to understand what your capacity is, and the support we can provide for you so that you can live your life with both clarity and comfort.
What is eyestrain
Eyestrain can show up when your near vision system is working hard for long periods. It’s common in students, office workers, and anyone switching between phone, laptop, and multiple monitors. It is very common when you suffer chronic conditions, have high stress or daily workloads, or sleep poorly. When you are working at maximum capacity, eyestrain can precede headaches and migraines.
- Tired or aching eyes
- Headaches
- Blur that comes and goes
- Dry, gritty, watery eyes
- Light sensitivity
- Difficulty focusing up close
Who it's for
Students & teens
Long study sessions, exam prep, sustained near work, device-heavy learning.
Professionals & screen-heavy roles
Dual monitors, detailed work, spreadsheets, design, coding, health workers charting.
Anyone noticing near vision changes
Early presbyopia signs, increased reliance on brighter light, arm’s-length reading, end-of-day blur.
Headache and Migraine sufferers
We investigate how your visual system is loaded and whether it is contributing to your brain strain.
Poor Sleepers
Sleep is vital to optimal vision, and those who don’t get enough may find they are extremely photosensitive (and wear the sunglasses all the time!). There are more targeted ways we can alleviate your visual load.
Not sure if it’s “just screens” or your prescription?
We’ll test both, so you’re not guessing.
