My eyes are dry and strained
I had to work for 10hours straight staring at my laptop. Today my eyes are too dry and strained. Can I use any tear drop? If so how many times per day I can use it?

Thank you for reaching out. For dry and strained eyes due to extended screen time, over-the-counter artificial tear drops can be quite effective. You can use them up to four times a day or as needed to relieve dryness and discomfort. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, itâs best to consult with an eye care professional.
If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

You can use lubricating eye drop.

Maintain right posture while using computer.
Keep yourself hydrated.
Blink more often.
Sit away from ac and fan.
