What is Asthenopia? Is it eye strain?
my doc says I have asthenopia but I was to scared to ask what it was...
----------
Asthenopia or eye strain is an ophthalmological condition that manifests itself through nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache and occasional double vision. Symptoms often occur after reading, computer work, or other close activities that involve tedious visual tasks.
So basicaly, Yeah.
Good luck with that :O (

What does a prescription for eyeglasses R (SPH -0.50, CYL is DS), L (SPH -0.50), CYL is DS) means?
The optometrist says I have 'asthenopia", but I really think I might be losing my vision...need your guys help in answering what the prescription really means.
Thanks for the responses so far. Is this "myopia" or mild near-sightedness likely to correct itself overtime if I spend less time on the computer etc
----------
That is simply a very mild correction for nearsightedness ( myopia)...the DS means there is no cylinder, just the - 0.50 sphere power. (

From what I can find, it sounds like farsightedness, trouble focusing on close-up objects.
"Accomodation" is focusing on close-up objects, so I think it's safe to assume that "accomdative disorder" would be a disorder of accomodation. =)
