If you just increase the distance you work at, it will decrease the strain on your eyes by a significant degree. Try it.

Shit's blurry no matter how hard you try to focus, and your eyes hurt a lot
stare at something for a long time without looking at a distant object every so often

sounds like a shit time

take breaks often and take your time to recover anon, this is a marathon not a sprint.

I got eye strain during my first few weeks of doing Bargues at my atelier, lol. I cured it by taking long walks and looking as far ahead in the distance as I could

What could we tell the eye doctor couldn't, you dingus.

Did you get your sight checked? I never had trouble focusing but I had a problem with headaches after a couple hours of drawing. After seeing a doctor I found out I needed prescription glasses.

My doctor also told me that you should spend some time outside so that your eyes can look into the distance (this is what makes the eyes rest).

Download a program called f.lux it helps when you work at night by turning off the blue light of your screen

I wasn't OP. Last time I got eye strain was when watching anime. I kept watching and it just kind of subsided.

I get eye strain when I see anime too

I get it a lot too, but especially after looking at my phone or watching movies in the dark at night. Use f.lux on your computer, I notice it happens a lot less nowadays but I still get it if I browse my phone for a certain length of time (like now I have had a headache for two days because of a phone-based party game).

SunsetScreen is better IMO

The only issue I have with these programs is that sometimes I'm painting something and I realize too late that I left the filter on.

I never had eye strain. How long does it last?

Bump for help.

I know a thing or two about medicine and the human body.

It may not be eye strain. You say you're good for a couple months then BAM eyes hurt. I suggest you go to a PCP and get your sinus looked at. Chances are allergy season hits you like a truck. If you get eye pain, pain behind eyes and headaches chances are it's sinus pressure or sinus related. Right now is the start of spring allergy season so it may be related to your recent troubles. At worse go to your local pharmacy and ask them for the behind the counter nasal decongestant. It's $5 and it could clear most if not all the pain.
