hi
this is a common problem 2day, working on computer for more than 3 to 4 hours continuously causes strain, headaches, red and watery eyes, also it can affect the vision after a long period of time (especially near vision).
there are a few ways to overcome this problem
1. whenever using computer, take breaks after every 1 hour,
only for 5 mins. during this break drink a glass of water, have a little walk and most importantly if u have any windows in ur office, try to see an object at farthest distance to relax ur eye muscles, bcoz whenever u do near works like reading or working on computer, ur eyes are using maximum focus and are constantly strained, so seeing a distant object will put ur eyes in relaxed position.
2. use eyeglasses with anti- reflection coating (ARC) which has no power (zero powered) in it but protects your eyes from the reflections of light illuminating devices like pc monitors and teleivisions.
nowadays all screens are lcd so the amount of reflection is very less anyways.
3. go for a regular eye check up at least once every year just to be sure ur vision is alright.
any problems u contact me on kothari_jay55@yahoo.com

Actually sitting too close is not bad for eyesight.
Spending too much time watching TV or on the computer instead of walking, playing sports, spending time with family and friends is bad for your waistline and mental health, but doesn't affect your eyes.

How close are you calling too close ? But spending too much time in fron of the TV or comp. screen can be. I have gone from farsightedness to nearsightness since sitting in front of the comp screen twice as long as I use to.

the only concern people should have about sitting too close to tvs or screens is the radiation...and there is no doubt that your eyes can get ruined after a time being so close to screens.
