It must be a personal issue because I have been a screen starer for 35-40 years and don’t have this issue. One of my kids got itz and the remedy was morning and night eye washing.
The doctors say it’s common for screen starers. It’s certainly not going to be everyone but I’ve been playing video games/using the computer heavily since I was a kid
My doctor’s practically predicted I was a programmer when they saw the problems I was having with styes and dry eyes
It’s over priced for what it is but it’s the ones my doctor recommended and I haven’t found a better one. I often will put a damp paper towel on it for moistness
The doctors office itself uses a microwaveable version. The important thing is to use it for at least 7 minutes
How many years of staring at screens did it take, if you don’t mind me asking ?

My eye doctors have impressed on me the importance of eye lid health and hot eye compresses. They say everyone should do it twice a day
I’m not sure if I’d go as far as to reccomend that (plenty of people do fine without it) but my eyes get gunky FAST if I skip hot eye compresses
So like do you wet a washcloth with hot water and drape it on or is there a different way?
I have an electric hot eye compress
