Dry eyes treatment
Hi, i have dry eyes. I have also done Lasik 3 years before. I am using eye drops since then. I get allergy kind of swelling below eyes and inflammation in eyes once in a while for which I use creams, after which it goes away.
I am planning to shift to IT field but worried because of long exposure to laptop and AC which can make my dry eyes worse.
Please advise if it is a good idea to move to IT field.
