Combating Eye Stain While Playing

Sometimes my eyes feel quite strained when gaming.  I am wondering, do you have any suggestions for how I can lessen eye strain while gaming?

  • ^ ditto on this. Since I'm wearing glasses these days anyways, I have a blue light filter coating on my persciption lenses and have noticed an improvement.

    Taking breaks regularly is always helpful as was also suggested, both for eyes and body, and both Windows and Mac have built in blue light filter settings that can be used to decrease blue light based on a time of day, or there are better apps which change it more gradually throughout the day as mentioned by jose m.
