This.
Though I did have 1-2 summers where any computer use would dry out my eyes completely. https://justgetflux.com/ may help too if you don't want to get further away from the monitor. Thinks may get a red tint to them but It's hardly noticeable over time.

In general staring at something that close for a long period of time will strain the eyes and muscles attached to them. As you get closer to an object your eyes will strain the closer you get to it. I can be helpful if you periodically look away and focus on something at a distance. The suggestions above about the brightness and distance should be taken into account.

Agreed. I have a 40" LCD I use as my monitor and I'm a good 3 feet away from it. Even when I game I don't wait til my eyes are burning, I'll look away and focus on something else. My eyes don't burn as I give them plenty of breaks in between reading the forum sections. Also my brightness level is adjusted to be a tad lower as it won't be that bright it's burning through my corneas, lol.

I've learned because I sit and stare at 5 22" monitors for approximately 10 hours a day. I have also found that overhead florescent lighting will also contribute to burning eyes.
