You may be suffering from computer vision syndrome,which is quite common in people using digital devices for long duration. Kindly take a short break following the 20-20-20 rule.. i.e every twenty minutes take a break for twenty seconds by focusing on an object twenty feet away.. This will reduce the eye strain.. Additionally lubricant eye drops ,refresh tears three times a day for both the eyes to be applied for a month may reduce dry eye symptoms.. Please have vitamin A rich foods,avoid eye rubbing and maintain proper sleep schedule..
