It seems you have already lot of allergic tendencies along with additional eye strain from screenwork
all these can lead to certain problems like computer vision syndrom / ocular surface alleries / eye dryness / eyelid margin problems like meibomitis / essential blephrospasm / change in refractive error which can lead to eye flickering and pain with heaviness and headaches.
Next Steps
you should not ignore it and get a thorough eye checkup done from your trusted eye doctor

This is definitely eye strain. It could be solely because of. Continuous computer work or you could have a refractive error (glass no.)
Next Steps
A general rule to follow is to blink consciously and avoid staring at the screen. Take a 20 Sec break every 20 mins of working on the laptop to look outside at something green.
Health Tips
Use lubricating eye drops intermittently
Get refraction (eye number) checked locally
