Doing near work on laptop/ desktop makes your eyes dry due to tear evaporation and causes what we call as computer vision syndrome. To avoid this you need to blink frequently, take frequent breaks during long hours of continuous work. You should make sure that the room illumination should be adequate, the brightness setting of your laptop/ desktop should be optimal and use of lubricating eye drops would be advocated in case of tiredness / Fatiguability of eyes.
