After working on computer for long hours there's irritation in my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Computer: After working on a computer for about 20-30 minutes, the blink reflex is diminished by about 60%.This causes the eyes to become dry,injected,and irritated. You should back away from the computer for several minutes and close your eyes.Also lubricant eye drops will help. There will be no permanent problems.
