Itchy, watery and Dry eyes

2020-09-08 18:28:30
Whenever I see laptop or mobile screen for long time. My eyes start to itch and become watery. If I go off the screen for few minutes it gets dry also at that time itchiness is present. I typically work in front of the screen for 10 hrs. Please advice.
