It doesn't seems to be Glaucoma,
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.

you are most likely not a glaucoma suspect.you might be having computer vision syndrome. just put lubricant eye drops 2to3 times daily e.g. refresh tears and take tab diclogesic SOS

follow 20..20..formula ie close your eyes for 20 seconds after every 20 minutes. don't sit facing towards A.C.. keep proper distance between eyes and screen.
