Sharp pain in forehead
Hi Docs,
I'm a working professional who sits around 8-9 hours infront of the computer. My left eye power is -.75 and right eye is -1.25. From past 4-5 days I've been experiencing a sharp shooting pain (for 1-2mins) at left bottom side of my forehead. Its happening mostly after the sunset and disappears in morning. Please let me know the possible causes and suggest what medication i should go for. Thanks.

The symptoms are typical of digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome. The preventive aspects that one can follow are
1. Remember 20-20 rule : 20 minutes of work, 20 seconds break from the screen
2. Make sure you blink properly while working. Lack of blinking leads to dryness in the eye that can induce symptoms
