Brief Answer:
Eye strain and presbyopia
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
1) what you are developing is a level of eye strain leading to what is known as computer vision syndrome. What you have to do is take small 5 minute breaks every half hour or so.While working on computer you can do eye rotation exercises to get circulation going.Frequent blinking also keeps eye moist.
2)Your father and grand father developed presbyopia. This is difficulty in nearby vision which develops beyond 40 years of age (approx). This usually occurres in most people, there is no preventive way as such, but the way science is developing I am sure we will come up with a cure.
For both your questions keeping a healthy lifestyle, with proper balanced diet and exercise goes a long way to help.
Any further query in this regard, please do get back to me.
