Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
These is common problem seen among the computer user. Its called computer vision syndrome. It is due focusing on computer screen for long time. All you need is to take frequent breaks from computer screen. Its called 20-20-20 rule. Try to focus every 20 min on a distant object about 20 feets away for 20 min. or otherwise close your eyes every 20 min for 20 seconds.
Take care.
