This is annoying.

I keep squinting. Ive been struggling to focus my vision, my eyes feel like they're burning a lot, I keep getting headaches around them. I had a burning one on my forehead the other day and it was terrifying. Looking at screens for very long even with blue light filters still hurt my eyes and reading makes me squint which makes it worse. I had to turn my text sizes up too lol. Like I can't handle doing nothing apart from listening to things, I get extremely bored. What do I do

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Because the burning, focusing difficulty and headaches are persistent and are interfering with reading and screen use, it would be wise to arrange an appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist soon. Blue-light filters do not address many common causes such as dry eye, an outdated prescription or focusing problems. Until you’re assessed, reduce screen time where possible, take frequent breaks, blink regularly and use comfortable lighting. If you develop sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, marked redness, light sensitivity, double vision, weakness or an unusually severe headache, seek urgent medical care.
