first thing may be computer vision syndrome causing dry eye so you must use anti glare specs and anti glare screen before computer screen. apply artificial tear drop in eye for 2times daily. staring look without blinking give rise to such symptoms. one thing you move out of computer blink and look through window to outside. soon you will be alright.
