Better not to use drops containing steroids without prescription.Irritation in your eyes might be due to number of reasons.Considering your profession and the number of hours u must be spending on digital devices , computer vision syndrome might be one of the reasons.
- follow 20-20-20 rule i.e.after every 20 minutes look at a distance of 20 feet for 20 secs
- blink 12 - 15 times a minute ( digital user blinks only 5-8 times a minute)
- continue using refresh tears four times a day
- ensure adequate sleep, adequate hydration
