Pain in corners of forehead
I have been experiencing pain in corners of my forehead since last 3 months. I work with laptop fr around 7 hrs/day and the pain starts in the morning after working 3 hrs in laptop and remains till the time I go to bed. I have consulted an ophthalmologist who have diagnosed me with dry eyes and bit weak ciliary muscles. The doctor has prescribed me Prednisolone eye drops fr 3 weeks and Refresh Tears for continuous application. For 1 month I was ok, but the pain has again relapsed. Pls suggest what should I do. Is this pain due to eye problem only. I don't have any eyepower also. I have got it checked recently only. This pain makes me feel irritated always. I have again started applying Refresh Tears but it seems to be of no relief to the pain.
You are having computer vision syndrome please use lubricant eye drops e.g. teardrop 2to3 times daily. Rub ocupol d's eye pint twice daily on lids

If you are working at a close range on a laptop for longer hours and that's giving you a headache, you would be advised to get your eye movements checked. Any convergence insufficiency can lead to strain on the eyes while working at a near range for prolonged durations which typically starts after a few hours of such work.
Also it's advisable not to use steroidal eyedrops or eye ointments for no apparent reason (like prednisone etc). You should use refresh tears eyedrop on a regular basis for the dry eyes
