Your dry eye condition is probably way too severe for this to help, but here is a method that helps my eyes stay more healthy the more I stare into the PC screen:
Eye exercises!
Eye tissue is very suspectable to drying and eyes are fed with only one small artery.
This makes simple exercises super effective!
To enforce a routine I use 'safeeyes' on Linux. A mac alternative is EyeLeo (haven't tested). If you have a windows one, please share!
I change settings to have a break every 10 minutes for 15 seconds. Today I'll add a new exercise to do the focus shifting exercise¹, because your dry eye scared me.
It's funny, but in the weeks when I'm not using PC and don't remember to exercise eyes without prompting, I can feel my eyesight degrading and my eyes hurt.
P.S. if you've never trained your eyes, it will hurt the first few time, but it's the good pain, like from stretching. Don't overdo anyway!
¹ focus shifting exercise - taken from Huberman Lab episode on eyesight and preventing myopia: you put a thumb in front of your eyes and focus on it. Then you slowly extend your arm forward, keeping the focus on it. After your arm is stretched, you switch focus to something as close to you as your extended arm and slowly move to different objects (or trace a wall or ground), changing objects when required, until you reach horizon (or furthest possible point). Then you trace back and end up moving your thumb towards your face again. One very good exercise that is missing from safeeyes.
