I can share my personal experience with you.

I have been wearing glasses for fifteen years. I have been heavy into
computing for the last four. During long sessions my eyes get tired and I
find that it is harder to focus. (I also have a shitty monitor.) When I
get rest my vision is better.

My doctor prescribed a different prescription for computing. I haven't
bought it yet. (No money.) But a little examination in the office made me
think she was right on with the different prescription.

Read up on ergonomics for computing. That stuff makes a difference.
