Is a symptom of eye strain achy eyes and having a hard time staring at something without your eyes moving? on computer a lot x 2 days (all day)

Dry eye: Using the eyes as on a computer will not really strain the eyes, but if they become dry, you will feel the symptoms of strain or blurriness. Try using over the counter articial tears every hour or so when working at the computer and stand up and get away from looking at the computer every 1-2 hours for about 5 minutes.
