Research shows that many people who sit in front of a computer screen for extended periods of time do not blink as much as when they are away from their desks. This may be due to prolonged concentration as some people simply forget to blink. If dry eyes are a side effect of computer vision syndrome, consider lubricating eyes with over-the-counter drops or using a humidifier if the air in the room is dry. Also be sure that air vents at not blowing directly near the face when working at a computer.
