Lately, I've been looking at the monitor too often, so my eyes are itchy.

I used to have pretty good eyesight.

Lately, I've been working hard and diligently watching the monitor.

Because I keep looking at my smartphone even during break time, my eyes...

It seems I didn't let you rest properly. As a result,

My eyes feel a bit dry, and after a while of dryness

My eyes feel itchy, so I keep rubbing them.

Could this be the early sign of the dry eye syndrome I've only heard about?

Oh, I should have managed things properly so that this wouldn't happen.

I feel so regretful and don't want to go to the hospital, it hurts my heart.

Is this indeed dry eye syndrome?
