Recently my eyes feel very tired when i use computer. i have to work with using computer 17 hours per day. are there good ways to refresh my eyes?

Yes: First, get some glasses that are set to the computer distance. If you do not wear glasses normally, then +1.00 to +1.25 readers will work for this. Second, take frequent short breaks every 20-30 minutes by closing your eyes or looking into the distance for 30-60 seconds. Third, keep your eyes moist by using artificial tears regularly. Good luck!
