Does straining your eyes have a negative effect on the kneck muscles?

Question

I have heard that starring at a computer screen for too long, straining your eyes etc. Contribute to kneck pain.

Is this true? If so how?

Answer 1

yes it is true. it is not good for your neck to keep it in one possition for a long time. it makes the muscles tense up to help your neck not have to do as much.

While on the computer for long periods of time, try to stretch your neck a bit

Answer 2

Yeah it can,, big time.. you need to do neck excercises and give your eyes a rest to help it.  Here is a link that may help you
