Other - How Is The Eye Affected
0.3%1 A feeling of strain and irritation. When this is active I can only read a couple pages and then have to take a break and rest the affected eye or the feeling of strain can become severe. The eye becomes various levels of red depending on the amount of strain. Looking at the degree of redness in the eye is one indicator to me of the level of strain and the need to rest the eye.
