| Screen brightness | Apr 18, 2013 |
You have received excellent advice from colleagues. I would add two things:
Keeping the screen brightness to a minimum helps reduce eye strain.
And F.lux, a software that adjusts the computer display's color temperature according to the location and time of day. It changes the colors, but it works wonders.

| Artificial Tears | Apr 18, 2013 |
There are lots of good suggestions above. Getting your eyes checked is step #1 in my opinion. If you are working 8 hours a day, you really should not be working on a laptop, that's not what they are meant for. Get yourself a PC (they are not that expensive these days) and keep the laptop for working away from home. Finally, try using artificial tears 2-3 times a day, I wouldn't want to live without them.

I don't want to sound like I'm selling something, but I got the problem 100% solved buy buying a pair of gunnar optiks glasses. I think somebody recommended them on this post and then I researched on some computer geek's blog and ordered a pair and I just want to say they completely fixed the problem, Without visiting the ophthalmologist, nor changing anything else.. No more sore eyes, itchy, or blurry vision. These glasses are supposed to fix brightness, contrast and other problems associated with working on computer screens.
After working 8 hours daily, I feel absolutely no tired vision or anything on my eyes now. So I can 100% recommend them over buying a new screen or playing with the contrast/brightness, sitting position etc. Hands down.
Thanks. ▲ Collapse

Actually, computer-optimised add-ons for normal optical glasses have been around for a while. I'd expect an optician to ask, since most people gape at a screen for a living these days.
Also, experimenting with light temperature and contrast can help, apart from brightness. Matte or glossy monitor surface may be better for you subjectively.
