Eye fatigue is annoying and should be taken seriously before you do damage to your eyes.
A few tips I like to go with:
Making sure my workspace is well lit and not just the monitor light.
If you have a window in your workspace, look outside on a regular basis for a few seconds.
When modelling or working on parts that aren’t colour related switch blue light off on my monitor or in windows (just gotta remember to turn it back on when shading or colour is important)
When taking screen breaks really taking screen breaks and not scrolling social or watching tv, so basically replacing screen for screen
I hear there are now special glasses for computer work that can help with the strain, not sure if that works though. I don’t like using eye drops because it’s just postponing the problem and maybe making it worse without noticing. Just like a workout or a long physical work day, eyes need the rest, so I like to make sure they get it. If deadlines get in the way maybe give them a longer rest once the project is completed and take a few days off from the computer.
