Irritation and watering of eyes
I use the computer for long hours. sometimes for 3-4 hours at a stretch, and i cannot even take breaks in between. due to this, my eyes feel fatigued, watery. i feel like rubbing them and sometimes i feel like my vision is a bit blurry. i have an important exam coming up in 30 days (computer based 3 hour exam) and i need a solution to this problem asap. please help.
This is typical digital eye strain.. start by giving breaks every 20 min for 20 seconds and during those 20 seconds look away from the screen. Dry eye due to this can be managed using 1 percent Carboxy methyl cellulose drops, at least 4 hourly in both eyes.
Next Steps
Get checked for spectacle power or change of power.
