My mother tells me that I am a smart son. Because I have double eyes (She refers to double eyelids which in Sharshop context is considered handsome or beautiful).
But, lately, literally, I started seeing double objects like the monsters in Ben-10. My monk friend even told me if I was on drugs.
This uncomfortable thing didn’t go even today. I took a nap, woke up, and walked outside to see if this is gone. But, no, it remained.
I doubted my glass power. Recently, I had it changed for some signboards did not read clearly like before. When I went to see an ophthalmologist, he had me spend a few thousand bucks on new glass with increased power.
For a time being, I thought that seeing double objects was the glass’ specialty (proprietary technology). But this wasn’t the issue either.
Then I remembered that last Sunday I worked 24/7 on my laptop without even resting. Before this, I was spending night hours editing, writing, and posting.
Worried, I surfed the net to know what this symptom is. I came to know that it is called Digital eye strain. The symptoms are discomfort and fatigue, dry eye, blurry vision, and headache.
So, my final "WHY" is, I need to excuse myself from the screens.
