Light induced: It sounds like you may be sensitive to the light given off by computer screens while reading text on them at the same time. You may need to lower the brightness on your computer display and see if that improves your eye strain.Also consider reading glasses for computer work, should probably have an eye exam to make sure everything is "normal"
