Any ideas on how to reduce eye strain? I have tried to minimize the glare on my monitor, look around periodically, etc., but my eyes are still killing me after about a half hour. Not so good when you're looking at working an 8 hour day...

Eye strain.. need help!
I am finding I am doing a LOT of squinting and at the end of the day my eyes and the mucles around them and the tops of my cheeks burn/hurt. I know it is because I'm on the computer a lot. So, what is the best way to help prevent this? I wear contacts too so try to remember to blink a lot. They don't seem dry so I think I'm doing okay with that. I used to wear my glasses when I worked but my 2 year old broke them about a month ago and I cannot afford to replace them right now... with my prescription and frames it is nearly $200!
Do those things that you hang over the screen help? LOL, I don't even know what it is called. I have a larger screen (19"), changed my background color to grey, and use wider, larger fonts already and it doesn't seem to help much.
