It's better to undergo dry eye evaluation and associated systemic factors which aggravates your condition. You can use Gentel gel . Use Cold Compressions on the eye. Decrease screen time and take 5 minutes break after every 1 hr. Use anti glare and blue cut Spectacles. Consult Ophthalmologist for further evaluation.
