Eye strain and drying may be the problem, I would try some eye wetting drops. You can get them at the drug store{pharmacy}.

or you could just not spend so much time in front of your lap top. If you do have to use it because you have a lot of work you should take regular breaks to give your eyes a rest.

Look up, focus on a distant object or wall, look all around for a bit. Remember to blink (people don't blink as often while looking at a screen, which dries your eyes out).
1. Why do my eyes feel itchy after long hours in front of a laptop?
Staring at a laptop screen for extended periods of time can cause your eyes to become dry and irritated. This is because we tend to blink less when using a computer, leading to reduced tear production and increased dryness.
2. How can I prevent my eyes from feeling itchy when using a laptop?
To prevent eye itchiness while using a laptop, make sure to take regular breaks to rest your eyes and blink frequently. You can also adjust the brightness and contrast of your screen to reduce strain on your eyes.
3. Is using a laptop in a well-lit room better for my eyes?
Yes, using a laptop in a well-lit room can help reduce eye strain and itchiness. Make sure to position yourself so that there is no glare on the screen, as this can also cause eye discomfort.
4. Can allergies be causing my eyes to feel itchy while using a laptop?
Yes, allergies can contribute to eye itchiness, especially if you are allergic to dust or pet dander. Make sure to keep your laptop and surrounding area clean to reduce these allergens.
5. Should I consult a doctor if my eyes continue to feel itchy after using a laptop?
If your eyes are consistently feeling itchy and irritated after using a laptop, it is best to consult an eye doctor. They can assess the situation and provide recommendations for reducing eye strain and discomfort while using a computer.
