Yes. U can do the following. First of all make a habit that with every 40 mins to one hour of laptop use, u take a 10 min break from screen. Now break doesn't mean u check mobile in between. Break is break. Wash ur eyes or close ur eyes, like that. U can also use Aqualube eye drops four to five times daily. Let me know if the above things help
