They do make glasses designed specifically for working on the computer. Since you’ve made a change in how hard you’re making your eyes work, go ahead and ask an optometrist about it. Getting your eyes checked while you’re at it would be a good idea, too. Good luck!

If you're using a conventional, tube type monitor, your eyes will suffer because it acts as a light source causing you to blink less, which leads to eye strain. The best thing to do is to get an LCD flat panel monitor. They are much easier on the eyes and you will find that everything looks crisper.
