Eye dryness: You might have developed a need for eyeglasses but the most common cause of loss of focus at the computer is eyedryness. Try using a teardrop at you convenience next to the computer.

I have been having a hard time lately when I am working on a computer and I need to look up from my screen to a screen at a distance (like a projector) that my eyes are not adjusting focus quickly. Is this eye exhaustion?
Is it true that computer screens "trick" your eyes into focusing on the wrong distance ? I.E. Image is 1 ft away, but eyes focus 2ft away ?
I wear contacts that are -1.25 because I have trouble seeing faces/things clearly when they are 10+ feet away. But, 3/4 of my workday is working on a computer screen that is close up. Am I making my eyes worse by wearing my contacts all day?
Please tell me, are computer screens bad for your eyes?
In what way can I protect my eyes from computer screens?
