I have been experiencing eye problems for the last 6 months, mainly dry eyes and white discharge. I wear spectacles, and my vision is normal. I cannot sit in front of a computer or TV for more than an hour because it causes headaches and severe eye pain. Doctors say it is Dry Eye Syndrome and suggested Omega-3 supplements and anti-allergy medicines, but the problem persists. What else can I do to manage this condition?
