My eye keeps watering?

Question

Well its been happening for a while ever since i took up a computing subject at school which i doubt has much to do with it would it? But my eye seems to constantly feel like its watering and is quite embarasing looking like crying. Just wondering anyway to fix it and is it from the computers probably? If i leave the subject should it fix up?

Answer 1

Very likely you need some correction for the computer or at the very least artificial tears and frequent breaks.  The eyes water because they are over-taxed...either because they are drying out or they are working too hard to do the task.  You need to see your eye doctor for some accommodative (focusing) testing and for a dry eye evaluation.

Answer 2

squirt it with lemon

Answer 3

This may be eyestrain.

I'm doing a computing course and by the end of the day, my eyes are all sore and gunky. I've started using a cucumber eye gell in the mornings which is soothing, but the real answer is to get work done faster so you spend less time at the computer.
