Most people with complaints about computer vision have dry eyes from not blinking enough. The solution is as simple as looking away from the screen every few minutes, thinking about if your eyes are "tired", and blinking. You can go to the restroom and splash water in your eyes. There are saline eyedrops or "artificial tears" too, depending if you can stand putting drops in your eyes.

If you notice that your eyestrain headaches are worse during allergy season, then you probably have an allergy contributing to making your eyes dry (duh). A non-drowsy antihistamine like Allegra or Citirizine is helpful. If you are outside the US where you may have to work around smokers, I can tell you from personal experience that the smoke is what's giving you those awful headaches every afternoon. Again, antihistamines can help, but murdering the smoker slowly may be more satisfying. Bwah-ha-ha.

As they approach middle age, most people begin to suffer from presbyopia, loss of the ability to quickly change focus from close to far and far to close. The little muscles that change the shape of your eye get stiff. This can cause headaches. There are special glasses that may improve this situation, but it can be as simple as closing your eyes for a moment when you are forced to look away from the monitor.
