You must be having dry eye problem. Use lubricating eye drops like genteal or refresh tears or aquasurge 4 times a day. Take rest for 5 min after putting drops. Keep your eyes protected while driving and travelling with goggles.

Consult an Ophthalmologist immediately to get your refractive status checked. You may also have associated dry eye. So take frequent breaks, blink more while working on the computer, don't sit with the AC directly blowing in your face, use lubricating eyedrops like optive fusion.
