There is no escaping Computer use, but do you have to live with eye strain?

What is eye strain?

Eye strain is eye discomfort caused by the overuse of the eye muscles and usually occurs during or after prolonged periods of reading, close work, computer work or watching television. When concentrating on these tasks for long periods of time, the inner eye muscles tighten up resulting in various symptoms of discomfort.
