Result of excessively scanning votes in auditorium with entourage (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyestrain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'entourage' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'result of excessively scanning votes in auditorium' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'result' could be 'train' (train is a kind of result) and 'train' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eyes' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.
