Answer 1

Sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time will strain and dry out your eyes.  You can help this by getting some glasses, or turning down the brightness/contrast of your computer monitor.  Use moisturizing drops every so many hours, and that should help.

Answer 2

You are probably just causing yourself mild eyestrain by not taking enough breaks to let your eyes refocus at longer distances.

Every few minutes, just glance around the room at the farthest point possible. Then every hour take a good 10 minutes to walk around and look outside.

Once you get in the habit of frequent breaks, your problem may go away , if not, then you need an eye exam to see if a correction might be necessary.
