Could The Red Lines Around Eyes Be Due To Working On Computer For Long?

Hello Doctor, I am 30 y.o., male, I am programmer and I work on the computer all day long. For a last half a year a have strict red lines in outer corners of eyes. I haven't sunbathed for a long time. I have already tried some skin-recovery creams without getting better.

The treatment is by use of artificial tears eye drops. This can be prevented by taking precautions like avoiding continuous use of computer, taking frequent breaks, avoiding continuous use of air conditioner and washing the eyes with normal water....
