Try artificial tears: Eye irritation from computer use may be due to dryness from inadequate blinking. You might try more frequent breaks, cold compresses and over the counter artificial tears. Also make sure you are wearing the proper glasses, position your monitor at eye level to help avoid eye strain and headaches.
