Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  You have to understand that the eye drop is not a permanent solution for your problem. Take frequent breaks and shut your eyes for 5 minutes every hour. You can use eye drops like OnTears 1 drop in both eyes 5-6 times a day. Consult a ophthalmologist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
