Reading from an LED screen a great deal lately, I ran into some problems with eye strain a while back. Symptoms included:
- Inability to focus on what I was reading

- Feeling dizzy and sometimes gross
Here are the fruits of my research:
- EyeLeo freeware - really helps by just interrupting your work every so often to encourage you to take breaks, do some eye exercises. They're annoying but they definitely work.
- F.lux (freeware) - lowers the blue color that your brain associates with morning. Over the course of a day, it gradually lowers the color temperature so that you can sleep better at night. This also reduces eye strain. Needs to be disabled for any kind of color-sensitive work. Alternately, you can buy some clip-ons that do basically the same thing:
- I bought some goofy big eye strain-prevention clip-ons. They work well so far and help out with night driving as well (I often get blinded by headlights). I say goofy as they're not very small, but they are dramatically cheaper than other versions I found (most were upwards of $50).
