Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having watering and burning of eyes while working with computer.
This is a common problem and is called as computer vision syndrome.
This is because of dryness of eyes caused by constant and prolonged to monitor of computer.
The treatment is by use of artificial tears eye drops like refresh tears 2-4 times per day depending on the severity of symptoms.
This can be prevented by
Avoiding continuous and prolonged use of computer by taking frequent breaks. A break of 2-3 minutes after working for 1-1 1/2 hours continuously.
Avoiding the use of fan and air conditioner to avoid dryness induced by these.
Use of anti glare glasses or anti glare screen for computer monitor.
Adjustment of the position of the monitor slightly below the level of the eyes so that it prevents direct exposure of the light from the computer monitor.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
