Eyes tired and bloodshot from prolonged PC usage at work, how can I fix this?
| Drink water, sleep early, use eye drops if necessary.
| More PC usage.
| Make sure you have plenty of sunlight during the day and take semi-frequent breaks after dark

Drinking plenty of water already, somewhat of a hydrohomie if you will. Yeah, I should probably go to bed earlier though. But cutting down on hobby time (which is not that plentiful after work already) is gonna suck. Eye drops might not be a bad idea either, I'll have to look into that.

Not really in a position to get much sunlight (blinds on all windows at the office, can't go out often), I should probably be taking more frequent breaks though.
Thanks everyone.

I'm gonna sound idiotic, sry...
Just blink more.
I mean it. Consciously blink.
I don't see any way to revert the effects of focusing on close objects.
The only solution would be to have a screen so large you could place it at like 100m distance, so that you don't focus too close...
Kind of impractical.
If you can spend time outside where there is a view on far away objects you can relax your eyes (park, balcony with view on scenery, preferably some place you can see sky)

Sleep is the only fix.
To prevent, use eye drops and wear blue light blocking glasses.
I have to, since I have dry eyes.
It sucks, g\u\rls.
| I've changed the default screen to a quality ips one on my laptop. Helps.
| Reduce contrast and brightness of your monitors, lower them as much as possible so that the angle that the light reaches your eyes is from a down to up position instead of straight ahead, and switch on a blue light filter if available.
| Correct your posture op, looking at the screen with a bad posture strains your eyes a lot more

???
Staring at bright screens are bad for your eyes and increases eye strain. I generally lower the contrast on my monitors so its not as painful to look at.
| Oh I see, I messed up in my initial post.
What I meant was, lower the contrast of the screen, and either lower the monitor *itself* so that you're looking at it from a downward angle, or raise your seat so you're higher than the screen.
