I get the same thing but It happens even when I'm not on my computer. I have to yawn until my eyes water, but they go dry straight away.

I should go and see my GP but I'm dreading it incase its something serious.

Isn't that more motivation to go and see them about it? If it's serious then you're putting yourself at more risk by leaving it. Logical fallacy

"I don't need an eyetest/glasses I can see fine!" is such a logical fallacy. Of course you think you can see fine because you're not aware of what better sight is if your eyesight isn't as good as it could be.

I used to think I could see fine before I started finding it difficult to read things at a distance, if I'd never noticed that I'd probably never got an eye test, but reading aside (oh and the cinema) my eyesight is "fine" and I don't "need" glasses, but it makes the cinema, for example more enjoyable because the image is much sharper.

I haven't been to an optician since I was 8 (I've recently turned 31). However I did have a basic vision test as part of my medical for driving the fork lifts at work a few months ago. With my weaker eye I could read the 20/20 line and my stronger one right to the bottom of the chart. So I don't see any point in going to an optician any time soon

If you can read this without squinting you are probably fine.

An eye test is always a good idea but you may just be one of these people who's vision is fine but suffers from eye strain which is causing the discomfort.

I am supposed to wear glasses I even have them I just keep forgetting to actually put them on

If your job requires use of a vdu, you can get a free test - I forget how often.

Sounds more like cancer to me, your best bet is to write into the daily mail and ask them. My guess though is they will tell you its either cancer or immagrants causing it.

Doesn't or shouldn't matter how much an eye test costs when it comes to the health of your eyes
