QUESTION: Can you advice if it is stress related or eyes being strained. Many thanks!!
Answer
A pulling sensation of the eyes can occur from any of the following situations: eye fatigue/asthenopia/eyestrain; focusing problems, muscle imbalance, etc. You need to be evaluated by an optometric physician to diagnose and treat your symptoms and rule out pathology. You didnt mention your age and health status - all of which could affect your eyes. hope this helps
