Did you go to your optometrist and ask for this specifically? I've been struggling with this a lot, but figured if my prescription and glasses are what they are, this strain is maybe just a fact of life. I'd love to get rid of it.
I'm so near-sighted that I need my glasses to see the screen, but just barely. In some situations I can take my glasses off to work and it makes such a difference - there's no strain at all.
