A member asked:

I use the computer a lot and my eyes doesn't itch or hurt. is it red because i use the computer a lot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry eyes can be: Exacerbated from focusing on a computer screen for long periods of time. Taking time every 15 minute to look away from the screen will help. Also, try using over the counter lubricating wye drops (artificial tears) frequently during computer use to aid in moisturizing the surface of the eye as well.
