Eye strain: Hi, seems like your eyes are getting strained from having to look at an artificial screen for a long time. By reducing your time spent looking at a screen (computer/phone/etc) and also taking multiple breaks while do, it should help. Looking away and at something far away (like outside a window) at time will also help. Eye strain is common. However, if it is truly an infection, see your doctor.
