Unplug and log off: Spend time with activities that do not require close visual work. Hike, run, go for a drive. These activities will help your eyes focus on distant objects and reduce eye strain.

Take breaks: You should take 5-10 minutes out of every hour for a break where you let your eyes be completely at rest. This is true even at work if you are staring at LED screens all day long. Best is to actually close eyes and let them rest, but even OK to just get up and stretch, do some deep breathing and then a little exercise/walk before going back to your activity.
