Are your eyes getting dry? Are you blinking less often so that they dry out? Get some saline drops. Don't get Visine. You just want to wet them, not medicate them. It is so easy to get dried out in the winter.
Y,ou must stop reading and focus on distant objects ver often. It is important enough to repeat.

what Dixie said is pretty important. I think as we become comfortable with our readers, we tend to not blink enough. we also do not focus on other things often enough. if you think about it, unless you have the absolute perfect position with a pbook, quite often an adjustment of some sort is being made. as that happens, I believe a minor adjustment of the eyes occurs; what is the light outside, what is the cat doing, is that a piece of fuzz or a spider in my peripheral vision? with an ereader, as there is almost no time delay, our eyes do not shift at all. we do not even get the passing air a turning page would make.
BLINK!!!
