The correct answer is asthenopia.
This condition appears when concentrating on a visually intense task, like focusing on a book or computer monitor, the ciliary muscle tightens. As a result, the eyes to get irritated and uncomfortable. The problem can be alleviated by giving the eyes a chance to focus on a distant object at least once an hour.
