Problem related to eyes
From the last 2 weeks i m working on laptop for 13 hr daily, now my eyes started paining along with headache . Most of the times i feel my head is heavy and no longer am able to work on laptop for hours. My eyes started flowing . I am not having any problem in vision , everything is visible as before . So what i should do? Do i need a eye checkup and start wearing spectacles? Please suggest .

All software professionals are having same problems because most of them don't know how to work on computer for long time without giving discomfort to eyes. While working on computer number of blinking drastically goes down from around 24 per minute to around 8 per minute leading to severe dryness causing burning ,eyestrain, temporary blurring of vision,& headache.One should try to have normal blinking while working on computer ,should look away from screen after every 10 minute& should take rest for 10 minutes after every two hours. You should also use lubricating eye drops( Systane ultra) 5-6 times daily & genteal gel once at bed time.
