Brief Answer:
Computer vision syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
My Dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
Other than using these drops three or four times a day what will be more important is to have a 5 minute break every 45 minutes,when you have eye movement all around,thereby restoring circulation all over the eye.As eye being very static during computer work,circulation is sluggish.
Frequent blinking also helps in wetting the cornea.
Make this a habit and this will help you in the long run
