Dry eyes: It sounds like your symptoms relate to prolonged viewing of your computer monitor. Eye fatigue, eye strain, ;dry eyes are particularly common symptoms in individuals that use computers many hours a day. I recommend a trial of artificial tears (eg., refresh™) that you may use 2 to 6 times daily. It also helps to take breaks;look away every 5-10' on the hour to rest your eyes. Are glasses up to date?
