This could be nutritionally-based as well. Try a daily multivitamin with maximum Vitamin A / Beta Carotene. Decrease any excessive alcohol consumption. Also, keep your eyes from drying out - water, artificial tears, or your own spit will do.

Maybe partially. I'll get more vitamins anyway, and more carrots ofc; For the alcohol consumption, there is none. Also, I don't think my eyes are drying out since they get wet from my tears from time to time when I'm on the computer, but I'm not sure if it's enough - tho as far as I know and feel, they're wet all the time.
I think it's the strain that causes my eyes to produce tears, therefore I feel (my eyes feel) tired. So, I'm gonna try a simple test. I'm not gonna use computer for 2-3 days at all to see if my eyes are gonna rest and go back to their normal state.

Here is another thing about computer workstations: They are almost never correctly adjusted for your height. I have put both my monitors on old books, raising them to a more normal viewing height for me. I also found that even my adjustable chair does not go high enough, so now I'm sitting on old books as well, until I can find a better chair. Now my posture is better, and my head is not drooping to see my monitors.

I agree, computers are never set up in a position that is comfortable!
My posture has certainly gotten better! After practicing the "semi-supine" in the Alexander Technique. (Here is a video link for it on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iehtr8X3qMc)
I find it corrects posture and improves vision!! It is actually very relaxing.
I've also noticed by adjusting certain parts of my back my vision improves and I get tons of clear flashes.....
I think combining the Bates Method and the Alexander Technique is a good thing, and results in possibly quicker results.
Good luck to all,

If I'm right, my eyesight has gone slightly worse. Apparently, now I don't even see clearly on a shorter range sometimes, usually in the night when the lights are on. I also noticed that my vision is slightly better sometimes. To be honest, I didn't practice Bates method, cause I completely forgot about it due to being busy almost all the time. I'm not really sure about about my eyesight as what will happen further, but I'm going to check an eye specialist to check my vision and get his opinion, even though I've been delaying it since last month.
Best wishes,
Marco
