Brief Answer:
There can be many reasons of eye pain dear

Detailed Answer:
hey thanks for the question.

there are many reasons of eye pain and one of the most important in computer users is a dry eye. Another important cause is an uncorrected refractive error aka spectacle number.Most of the causes of eye pain are amenable to treatment. does your pain also radiate to the head ? if so we need to rule out migraine also. I would advise you to get your refraction done and your eyes checked by a well qualified ophthalmologist for the final diagnosis . If you have extensive computer work i would advise you to use some antireflective protective glasses as well and follow tha Rule of 20 which says that after every 20 mins of computer usage we shoul look at a distance of 20 feet for 20 seconds and blink .

hope my answer helps you . Get well soon and regards . if you have any further queries i would love to answer the same

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply and explanation.
Today, I am feeling kind of stiffness or very dull pain in the head.
I, being a computer professional, have to spend around 8hours in front of laptop.
I got my eyesight checked in december 2018 and it was fine.
Please suggest something for immediate relief, as I may not be able to visit doctor immediately.

Thanks,
Bhawna

Brief Answer:
You can take some pain killer

Detailed Answer:
hello thanks for the follow up . you may take some oral pain killer like crocin for your headache but it is only short term relief . And for eyes you can use some artifical tears like carboxymethylcellulose which gives pain relief. But please do get a check up eventually . hope it helps . If you have any further questions i would love to answer the same . get well soon
