Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 31 10:42 am)
Subject: how to reduce eye fatigue
Although you didn't say, I guess that you usually wear eye glasses.
I know that some old (film) SLR cameras allow a correction eyepiece accessory that compensates to your eyesight.
I Googled for slr eyepiece diopter and found over 90,000 hits.
There are also some variable dioper accessories in case you are not sure what diopter value to buy.

I offer the same advice as Martin above.
I believe you have a Canon dslr in which case there is a diopter adjustment on the eye piece which is enough for most people to get a comfortable setting. In cases where more adjustment is necessary there is an accessory available to give a wider range.
Refer to your manual for full instructions on setting the eyepiece diopter.
As a brief guide you need to switch off auto focus and point the camera at a blank wall. In the viewfinder you will see several red squares , the focus points, adjust the small wheel beside the eyepiece until these are in sharp focus.

If you dont have an slr and are looking through an eyepeice at a small lcd screen instead of the screen on the back of your camera, therein might lie your problem. Such screens (when i have seen them) are normally devoid of any good detail and are all but problematic to try and use to get a good photo. That might be straining your eye if it is the case that you arent referring to an SLR. If it is an SLR the above advice is worth noting :)

If it is a EVF, Electronic view finder, you usaully have a + - wheel there to alter the focus, I have an EVF on my camera, and have severe Myopia(Short sightedness), But have never had a problem, and it has superb details.
Moreover you will extend your battery life if you do not use the viewing screen to compose and take a shot, all this said Beth, we are photographers not Opticians/Optomotrists,, my advice would be to have a chat with one :)

I had been using for the last two years the screen on the back of my old camera and gotten used to not using the eye piece. Now I have one that I have to look through and I am finding that after taking say four or five images it takes me quite a while for my eye to get back to normal. It is even worse if I do it for a long time. My eye ends up feeling uneven visually to the other. I would appreciate any help given. Thank you and have a lovely week!
