Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
These symptoms probably indicate dryness of eyes because of continuous exposure to computer. Try to close your eyes and wash your eyes with water and if it disappears it confirms the diagnosis.
If the symptoms persist we need to rule out vitreous floaters.
These are usually seen in people aged more than 60 years and most of them are harmless and will resolve without any treatment.
But this requires examination by ophthalmologist for confirmation of diagnosis and to rule out associated retinal problems.
Hence I advice you to take rest by closing your eyes and if it does not disappear then you need to consult your ophthalmologist to rule out floaters.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
