Itchy eyes
I tend to rub my eyes after watching my lecture on laptop, also nowadays my daily onscreen time (mobile+laptop) has gone up to 8-10 hours a day as most of the work is done on screen, I have glasses already and I don't think my number has increased. But nowadays I am facing the urge to rub my eyes as soon as I take them off from the screen, and also while going to bed it feels the same.
Can you please suggest what to do so that the urge to itch goes off. Thankyou

Few instructions:
1. Follow 20-20 rule. After every 20 minutes of any near work say laptops, mobile or reading take a break and focus for 20 seconds at a far away object at least 20 meters away.
2. Frequently blink your eyes while working, if not possible to remind yourself to blink then at least after 30 minutes of your work slowly close your eyes 10 times.
3. Adequate water intake at least 3-4 litres per day
4. Adequate sleep at least for 7-8 hours
5. Do not rub the eye
6. Use anti reflective coated glasses if you have spectacles
7. Cold compress to the eyes 3 times a day (Can dip clean cotton in refrigerator cold water and keep over closed eyes for 30 seconds)
Next Steps
