Experiencing Double-vision, Neck/thoracic Pain And Tired Feeling. Is It Due To Staring At Computer? Suggestions

For about the past 2 months now, I tend to get double-vision, but only in the afternoons. It is accompanied by a "tired" feeling, but I use the term tired loosely as I am not actually physically tired. No matter how hard I try to uncross my eyes and focus clearly I cannot. This is almost every day, and between the hours of 2pm-4pm. I do office work and do stare at a computer screen all day, could this be the cause? Any suggestions? I have also been experiencing neck/thoracic pain between the shoulder blades with tightness and cracking joints through those areas of the spine.

Hello

It is just possible that you are suffering from refractive error for which you should undergo a refraction and get the glassed for your visual correction. If you are above the age of 40 years, you may need presbiopic addition also to your distant vision glasses. This should solve your problem. However, you can use some lubricating eye drops to give a soothing effect to your eyes.
