Yeah, eye strain can be caused by several things. Meds could cause your eyes to be dryer. You could also have damage to the eyes in a couple of different ways. If you haven't already, it might be worth having a medical eye exam AND a vision efficiency evaluation.

After my concussion, my medical eye exam was fine, but my vision efficiency eval showed that I was having trouble holding two images together as one. This caused eye strain and contributed to my headaches.

I found the doctor who did my testing here: braininjuries.org
