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.
