Periodic rest: First, get a thorough eye exam to ensure there is no pathology or refractive error (i.e. Need glasses). Studies have shown that automatic blinking rates decrease with computer use. Some tips include: periodic rest, an ergonomic sitting and looking setup, extra blinking and or artificial tears as necessary.
