Pain behind right eye and blur vision
I have strained my eyes by looking into screen too much. Since 2 days I have pain behind my right eye and it's very dry. I have started using tear drop but there is not much improvement in pain. Felt headache behind my right ear. However headache is not too strong. Please suggest medication to resolve this. Since I work in IT I cant keep myself away from system for much longer.
