Having Eye Pain. Reason And Cure?
Hello i have a problem with my eyes, i m not quite sure why but i get this feeling to need to squint my eyes a lot lately i remember i happening to me before at random times, but i was rare now it s been happening often and they kinda of hurt, so i have to squint my eyes or sob them on my eyelids. i also get this pain in the back of my head sometimes along with the eye pain. i do use the computer frequently, but i m never too close to the screen... would you recommend some sort of Filter for my computer screen? any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Mijail Illanes

Hello,
I t seems from the history that you squint or squeeze your eyes while looking and using computer. It can because of underlying refractive error. This requires examination by a optometrist or a ophthalmologist to rule out any refractive error and treatment for the same.
Coming to your complaint of using computer, it is common to have computer vision syndrome manifesting as dryness of eyes in those who use computer for long time. You can use lubricating eye drops to get releived from the symptoms in addition to taking breaks at frequent intervals while using computer.
Thank you
