This will be obvious for a lot of people but just want to report what I learned in case its helpful. Been working on computers since 2017 and most days I feel fatigue in my eyes at end of the day. Sometimes it's even still there when I wake up.
I just assumed it was endemic to the work. But finally I stopped being a dumbass and actually searched about eye fatigue. There is a number of apps available, some free, some paid, which are designed to reduce eye fatigue. Usually they change the temperature of the screen or reduce brightness.
I use one called CareUEyes (great name) which I think was found on the microsoft app store. It's pretty good cause dims the brightness in addition to color temperature.
I dramatically lower the brightness of my screen - usually 30-50% depending on brightness of the room. I make color temp about 25% warmer. I've noticed that I feel almost no eye strain any longer even though I am working same amount of hours as usual. So it seems to actually have a positive effect.

either that or they're using the cheap 4k screens that Dell were shitting out 3-4 years ago, those things are a blurry mess
@poopipe I do use a somewhat lousy old tv which probably isn't the best thing. But luckily my office is pretty well lit. It seems to feel best to me to get the brightness of the screen to where it's about the same brightness as the wall behind it, and also for the contrast to be very low. About like reading text on paper.
Obviously for a lot of art task this isn't viable but for majority of my time, keeping it that way seems to help. What I like about using the app is that you can just toggle it all on and off easily.
lol, celine for the win. my mom used to listen to that on repeat during long car trips. great memories
