What can I do about sore and dry eyes?

Computers and the Eye
We normally blink 15-20 times per minute. When you concentrate on the screen, you blink less often than normal, sometimes down to 3 times per minute. This affects lubrication of the eye surface, which may become excessively dry. You may feel as if there is something in your eye, or the eye may be sore or it may feel dry. Deliberately blinking often (e.g. at the end of each line, or whenever you think of it) may relieve the problem.
