Its not likely to be. If you are using some steroid preparation then it might be steroid induced ocular hypertension. Which will need withdrawal of steroids.
Your symptoms might be due to over usage of mobile.hence you are likely to develop computer vision syndrome.
Please restrict computer or mobile usage if possible. And start using some lubricant.
