Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
All the above symptoms point towards "Computer Vision Syndrome" which is very common due to use of computers for a longer duration of time in the day. Try to take breaks at regular intervals. You could also use any Lubricating eye drops -Genteal eye drops / Tears plus eye drops-1 drop four times a day.

If no relief with the lubricating eye drops, consult your ophthalmologist.
