Darkness in vision post screentime
I am experiencing dark patches in vision after continuous 2-3 hours of screen time. It persists for around 30 minutes with a little headache. When I experience these dark patches my eye sight reduces and I can't identify the colors displayed on the screen properly. This has started from past 1-2 days when I joined a work which requires more screen time.
Please help with diagnostics.
Regards,
Tanmay
