Dry eyes treatment
Hi, i have dry eyes. I used to work in IT sector 2 years before, i used to get water from eyes after working from long time in front of desk and because of AC. I am already using eye drops. sometimes i get allergy kind of reaction below eyes and inflammation in the eyes especially in summer for which I take corticosteroid ointment for a month and it improves.
I took break for 2 years for govt job preparation.
Now again i am planning to move to the IT sector, but worried about constant exposure to AC and desktop which can make my dry eyes worse. Are there anyways to manage dry eyes. I am worried that i am compromising on my career.
Please advise on this.
