Brief Answer:
it is computer vision syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
You are having computer vision syndrome because of prolonged use of computer. Glaring at computer without blinking effect of computer glare causes dry eye symptoms. You have to take an anti glare glass in your specs and should have a anti glare screen in your laptop or desk top. Take break in between close your eyes and blink for some time. Move about in your room and look out side through window. Apply artificial tear drop like refresh tear in between.
