I suffer of CVS big time, I had to apply tons of eye-drops every few hours due the dry and burning sensation on my eyes and some days I won't even catch much sleep because my eyes hurted so badly and keept me awake.

What helped me a lot was a pair of Gunnar glasses (cristaline version) plus taking short brakes every 25min (Podoro Technique helps with this). The Gunnar glasses alone took me to cut down my use of eye-drops to 1 or 2 times a day.

So I honestly recommend the glasses, but wait for the style you like to be on sale (I bought mines 30% off) and if you are not sure about the meassures of your head, go with the Sheadog ones, I have a big head, and those fit me perfectly and are very light weight.

This sounds like you are diagnosing yourself with something that may not exist.
It could be that the name I give to the symptoms is not appropiate (even when who diagnosed me with CVS was an optimetrician not me...) nevertheless the symptoms are quite real... And, fortunatelly, I have found a solution that works quite well on coping with it.
