Redness ,itching in eyes
Sir,
my eyes have redness problem from 1 year .Whenever I watch a digital gadget like laptop my eyes become intensely red. Body condition is as below :-
1.redness in eye
2. irritation and a pinching feel in eye
3 very sensitive to light from screen of laptop and mobile phone
4. drink lot of water but still feel thirsty
5. sometime a bit low blood
This is a symptom known as computer vision syndrome. You need to follow a 20-20-20 rule. After every 20 min of continous work take a break for 20 sec and try to look at thing 20 feet apart. Also keep screen level below level of eyes so that there is less exosure. If still it persists satrt using a lubricating eye drop for 4 times a day
Next Steps
Before reaching this conclusion i would advise you get your dry eyes ruled out. You can have an idea from dry eye questionarre available on the internet easily

Most of software professionals don't know how to work on computer for long time without giving trouble 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, 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 minute after every 2 hours& should wear antiglare glass. Software professionals should use lubricating eye drops 4-5 times daily (Systane ultra)&genteal gel once at bed time.
