Working on screen for long will not cause discharge.  It can be because of infection.  Is the discharge less or more with matting of lashes.  We need to see viral bacterial or allergic.  And take drops according to it.  If it's clear u just need artificial tears.

Keep adequate distance from the screen, take frequent breaks and blink completely and frequently as one forgets to blink when concentrating on something. Please send a picture so that I can see how severe it is. Also is your eyesight alright?
Next Steps
if it is still not better then you can use artificial tears in the form of eye drops lubrex eye drops 4 times/ day for 1 week.
