Constant eyes pain

2017-03-28 14:24:08
I had blurred vision( left eye 1.5 and right eye 0.5) since September and was prescribed spectacles. But from last one month i have pain in my eyes specially left. I'm a student and i use laptop for my studies but It pains alot and I cant study for more than two hours. Even It is very difficult to go out in sunny days. I feel continuous pain in my eyes. Neither i can watch TV nor I can use my phone nor I am able to study more than 4-5 hours a day . It is very difficult to open eye in night , It hampers my studies a lot. Kindly suggest me what should I do now ..

All  students who are working on laptop or computer are having same problems because most of them don't know how to work on computer for long time without giving discomfort to eyes. While working on computer number of blinking drastically goes down from around 24 per minute to around 8 per minute leading to severe dryness causing burning ,eyestrain, temporary blurring of vision,& headache.One should try to have normal blinking while working on computer ,should look away from screen after every 10 minute& should take rest for 10 minutes after every two hours. You should also use lubricating eye drops( Systane ultra) 5-6 times daily & genteal gel once at bed time.you should also get your refraction done by ophalmologist & use antiglare properly prescribed glass by ophalmologist
