Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This is what you label as computer vision syndrome.This happens due to lack of blinking,lack of eye movement and dryness due to A.C.
There are lubricating drops like tears naturale,Refresh tears or CCS eye drops available.You have to attack the root cause as well.Give a 5 mt break every half hour,when you do eye movement exercises and put in drops.
Any further query in this regard,please do get back to me.
