This is typical digital eye strain.. start by giving breaks every 20 min for 20 seconds and during those 20 seconds look away from the screen. Dry eye due to this can be managed using 1 percent Carboxy methyl cellulose drops, at least 4 hourly in both eyes.
Next Steps
Get checked for spectacle power or change of power.
