Can you please help? My eyes are hurting very bad...

So, just a few days into school and I am already using my computer like crazy. I’m already cutting back on most unnecessary uses (e.g. Facebook, gaming, email even).

In the morning to afternoon, I use the laptop to take notes in class. In the evening, I use it to take notes on the reading (cases). I cannot use a substitute as I really need to organize my notes. Even if I were to hand write the notes now, I would have to type them up later anyways to avoid misplacing crucial notes.

In any case, the end result is that my eyes are hurting like crazy due to severe eye strain. I try taking eye breaks, but their effects are marginal. I also tried eye drops but those don’t really work, as I usually just cry the drops back out as a reflex. My computer screen and my glasses are fine, as far as I can tell.

Please help…
