Detailed Answer:
My dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for sending your query to us.
There are three aspects for prolonged computer work.There is dryness of eye,as when you are staring at screen you blink less,more intense the working less is blinking if eye,So there is less wetting of cornea.Working places are air conditioned so there is more dryness.
There is lack of eye movement so oculer muscle is less exercised there by reducing the blood flow.
Third is sedentary job means less exercise.
All three are taken care by periodic break for 4 to 5 minutes when you roll your eyes and have full range of eye movement as well as some kalesthenic exercises.
Have frequent blinking while working.
The cornea is only body tissue which is live and transparent. It needs frequent wetting,so a a blink every 10to 15 seconds is needed.
Any further assistance please do get back to us
