Severe dry ryes
Hello my opthalmologist told me I have sever dry eyes. I am heavy computer user(10hours a day). I see halos around street lights, they scatter too much and I see circles coming out of them. It's very disturbing. I am 21 years old. Any suggestions? I also have floaters and sometimes I see a point of light travelling in my vision when I try to sleep.

For your computer use follow these instructions:
1. Follow 20-20 rule. After every 20 minutes of any near work say laptops, mobile or reading take a break and focus for 20 seconds at a far away object at least 20 meters away.
2. Frequently blink your eyes while working, if not possible to remind yourself to blink then at least after 30 minutes of your work slowly close your eyes 10 times.
