SUMMARY
Reading on a computer screen and reading text both contribute to eye strain, but the key factor is not the medium itself but the duration of focus. Users with LCD monitors may experience less strain compared to older monitors, but prolonged reading without breaks is detrimental regardless of the display type. The recommended solution is to take regular breaks, change focal distances, and perform eye exercises to alleviate strain. Consulting an optometrist for personalized eye exercises can further enhance eye comfort.
