Suggest Natural Way To Take Care Of The Eyes When In Front Of Computer

Hello Sir, I m 27 female. I do a lot of computer work, some due to work & some due my addiction due to compute games. So I was feeling stress/pressure in my eyes & some red line around my retina and headache few months back. My vision is completely ok, I don t have migraine & I don t wear glasses. So last time I checked doctor (about 6 months back) he checked my eye pressure & said it s high (I can t remember the exact detail) & he gave me Lubrex eye drop (thrice a day) and ask me to use computer glass. After applying that I was fine. But sometimes when I m in stress or too much pressure I feel pressure in my eyes too,when it s minimum I apply lot water in my eyes & after few times my eyes are ok but sometimes when it persists for more than 1/2 days I apply Lubrex (till the whole solution is complete) & then I feel a lot better. So my first question is I m scared about the eye pressure cuz I heard it can turn into glaucoma or some scary disease! How to control my eye pressure...naturally or some other alternative? My second question is, if Lubrex is a safe medicine as I have used it by my own (even though Doctor prescribed it before)? And last is there any natural way to take care of my eye as I m infornt of computer screen a lot? Thank You in advance.
