Hello
It seems from the history that you are having burning sensation and tearing of the eyes on watching the laptop.
This seems like computer vision syndrome.
Computer vision syndrome can cause dryness of eyes and cause corneal damage as a long term complication.
Computer vision syndrome can be prevented by decreasing the use of laptop at a stretch for long hours by taking frequent breaks in between and use of antiglare coating glasses and use of artificial tears eye drops.
Cylindrical power does not have issue in Computer vision syndrome .

Thank you
