Irritation and dry eye

Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I used to study 8 hours a day but from a week I increased it to 8-9 hours and now from 3 days I am having a terrible pain/irritation at evening/ night when I try to read text books, pain lessen when I stop reading books. I feel that my dry eyes have become dry. Also blood capillaries in skin which is in contact with eyes become red (visible). Similar problem happened 6 months ago but it get cured in some days. I put Polyethylene Glycol and propylene Eye drop in my eyes ( prescribed to me by a doctor 6 months ago) but it doesn't help much. What should I do??

It is because of your constant focussing and may be increased screen time. i advise you to continue lubricating drops and also take breaks after every 20min for 2min frequent small breaks and blinks will help you the most. secondly it could be because of refractive error if you have any.

Next Steps

if it feels same even after precautions, i advise you to go for eye examination to rule out refractive error
