Can't see well after painting for a couple hours

Hi all, I had cataract surgery on my left eye and now have a monofocal lens. My right eye has a tiny cataract and presbyopia. With glasses I am fine for computer work or painting.

My problem is that after a couple hours painting (a canvas, not a wall), then I cannot see well with neither of the eyes, at any distance, with or without glassess. I guess I strain my sight while painting (I get really immersed) but I've asked other painters and no one has this problem. I could understand less ability to focus on my right eye after straining my sight ( because of the presbyopia), but my left eye has a monofocal lens. Is this normal?

Thank you!

    Assuming I've got no replies because no one experiences this or know why this happens.... does is it mean is serious?
