Basically same dryness of skin is extending over to the outer layers of eye.This will give rise to pain ,irritation and a gritty feeling in the eye.
Lubricating eye drops many a times a day is the key.More so while using computers for a long period of time.Frequent bminkig also helps during prolonged computer work by spreading the tear film.
