Brief Answer:
computer vision syndrome and headache.
Detailed Answer:
First you should go for refraction. Second indication is computer vision syndrome. This occurs due to dry eye and another is developed due to glaring look at computer , lack of blinking.Which prevents tear film spread. This results in dry eye and corneal errosion.For this you have to reduce your computer using hour and take antiglare specks and you can fit an anti glare screen before computer. In between take break and roam inside the room, go near window and look out side. Apply refresh eye tear drop 3 to4 times in between. If in result of refraction there is an error detected then take correct specs. Discuss with IT company and get some modification.Since it is a work hazard take a break or rescedule your working hour.

Detailed Answer:
It is nice that you have clarified on certain points. Tap water will not be a substitute of tear. Apply artificial tear as suggested. It is good that you take break but ensure enough blinking so that tear film spreads. Change your focus to out side and look at greenery. Install antiglare screen in front of computer screen.
