How do you cure computer dry eyes?

When I was 11 I got dry eyes from using the computer 14 hours a day now im 15 and I still have it lol when is it gonna go away

I believe my computer use was a big factor in me getting severely dry eyes as well. You might be alright with treatments like punctal plugs and restasis perhaps, and normal drops of course.. don't think mine will stop being dry anytime soon I'm afraid.

Hi,

For web browsing try making the screen easier on the eyes using a browser add-on, for example for Firefox I'm using "Blank Your Monitor + Easy Reading"

Some recommend using a software called flux to dim the computer by setting it to always nighttime:

Some on the forum have also suggested to get a blink reminder, again here's an add-on for Firefox:

You can find similar add-ons for Chrome etc.

Here's also some previous threads with useful tips on making computer use less strenuous.
