    There are very good eye drops - lubricating eye drops available now.  I take Candersartan and use a computer all day nearly every day.  No need to have dry eyes.  Note - lubricating drops, not wash drops.   Which country do you live in?  In the Uk Sainsbury's do Hypromellose very reasonably.  Boots do Blink - make sure it's the one for dry eyes. Clinitas Soothe is also brilliant.
