It must be a personal issue because I have been a screen starer for 35-40 years and don't have this issue. One of my kids got itz and the remedy was morning and night eye washing.

The doctors say it's common for screen starers. It's certainly not going to be everyone but I've been playing video games/using the computer heavily since I was a kid

My doctor's practically predicted I was a programmer when they saw the problems I was having with styes and dry eyes
