I invested in proper monitor setup and it was absolutely worth it. Two 27" 4K monitors with proper brightness (not too bright!) and contrast settings. Poor resolution makes your eyes work harder to read text. Also consider monitor placement - they should form slight arc around you so you don't have to move head much. And LIGHTING is crucial - avoid screen glare at all costs. I use Phillips Hue lights behind monitors to reduce contrast between screen and background wall.
20-20-20 rule changed everything for me. Every 20 min, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. I use an app called EyeCare that reminds me. Also, blue light glasses make huge difference - get good ones not cheap Amazon ones. And make sure your monitor is slightly below eye level, not straight ahead or above.
Try f.lux software. It adjusts screen color temperature based on time of day - warmer at night, cooler during day. My eye fatigue dropped like 70% after installing. Also for monitor setup - follow 'arm's length rule' - monitor should be about arm's length away and top of screen at or slightly below eye level.
