Same here. I have also been working since 2011 and, I guess, have got this belly as incentive! 
Anyways, all the best...

My eyes started to give my problems about 4 years ago. Now I can't read/code without eyeglasses. Who's to say it's due to staring at a computer screen for the last 17 years or whether it's due to age or even genetics? (both my brothers are also now wearing readers)

Farsightedness is an eventual effect of old-age as the lens loses elasticity.
I went from nearsighted but able to wear my glasses for anything to either having to remove them for close work or get bifocals.

It is an age problem, starting in the forties but working on a computer makes it more heavy.
But people working as craftsman have other and more severe problems. Often with the knees or littly money.

Yes, as Karsten suggests, it's an inevitable thing for folk in their forties or thereabouts. It's to do with the weakening of the muscles that hold the lenses in shape and comes on surprisingly quickly.
For many people, it can actually bring an improvement as it's more common to be born short-sighted than long and it can have something of a correcting effect. Sadly, I was born long-sighted and I'm just very grateful to live in the days of varifocals (and feel a real idiot for having refused them the first couple of times that my optician suggested them).
I don't find eye-strain to be as much of an issue as it was in the days of monochrome screens, the green on blacks were an absolute bugger for it and I regularly suffered from both eye-strain and migraines in those days. Black and amber screens weren't quite so excruciating but when we moved to colour monitors it was a very happy day for my eyeballs.

I have many afflictions as I grow older. I suppose I could blame a good many of them on programming, sure.

Pain in the @$$ from having to deal with code reviews... 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

That's an honest missing option!
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Sitting hunched at a desk wrecks my back. I also find depending exactly how I sit, my right leg goes to sleep, and hours at the screen knocks the hell out of my eyesight.
I've sliced fingers open on the metal insides of cases. Pierced the skin on CPU pins. Electrocuted myself touching the heatsink inside the PSU case.
Just the usual things!

Surely this covers everything?
Sit at a desk, let time tend to infinity and all the others will eventually occur.

True 
I personally feel eye strain by only playing access of game, not for programming...
So now I controlled myself

Like coworkers losing grip on their screwdrivers while forcing open devices that would be meant to be opened (and devices that are not but must be opened anyway). Or coworkers dropping a 5 kg steel-lead hatch on your arm/foot/neck. Or dropping a glass test jar in your vicinity, with flying splinters. Or tripping on a tensed cable forgot there by a messy coworker. Or having a metal conveyor started while operating on it.
It helps that I develop for industry applications...

I have sometimes headaches from the crappy stuff and naive decisions my co-workers and managers do.
I say a part of my salary are damages.

You are telling us that you never participated in a 'code red', in one way or another?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

To be fair, I put my chair in an un-ergonomic position myself (leaning backwards too much).
Once I fixed the position of my chair my back was fixed.
That was when I learned about the importance of a good chair
Strange though, I'm a PC gamer and I've been sitting in impossible positions in desk chairs my entire life

I lost my eyes to mathematics (no computer), my hair to wife, my back to kids...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
