I have developed eyestrain over the last few days. The day before yesterday I noticed it. Yesterday it became painful especially behind the right eye. Today I’ve taken a break, but it is still mildly painful.

I think I’m going to have to wait until I have had a couple of days pain-free, and then consciously limiting myself when I return.

I am using my tracker as an on-screen keyboard. I would estimate I am performing 1000 actions at a sitting, maybe three times a day. And I’ve been doing it for about 14 days maybe.

Has anyone experienced this ‘phase’?

It would be comforting to hear from someone who has gone through this and emerged safe on the other side. I have a long history of damage from repetitive strain injuries. It seems the head is harder than the body.

One thing I could try doing is adjusting my focus so that I am looking around my room or out of the window at least once a minute.
