When I first started on the eye drops, to prevent what you describe I had to put the drops in every hour, but over a three month period the period between putting drops in became longer but I would still need to go through my lunch break with no lenses and would have a max of 8 hours comfortable lens wear, but always pushed to 12 and have the full weeeknd with no lenses. It was as if this was the healing time my eyes needed to overcome the sensation you describe.

Unfortunatly this was only a short term fix as it was the eraly signs of becoming sensitised to my RGP lenses, so eye drops, dietry change and breaks from the PC would only work to a point. Therefore it is probably woth a visit to your lens fitter to discuss further if things fail to improve further to ensure there is no lens fit issues.
