Here's a counter point (sort of). At some point I began to suffer from eye strain - they were really hurting. I went to an optometrist and got a checkup, explained the symptoms. Since I was staring at a computer all day (and all evening - this was during my special time with WOW) she prescribed computer glasses.
Turns out, I didn't need them (and still don't). What happened was that the refresh rate on my CRT monitor was reset to 60Hz (probably due to a driver update). Once I returned it to the highest setting, my eye strain/pain went away. Of course, with LCDs it's not really a problem anymore, but keep this in mind if you're still on a CRT.
