No: That would be extremely unusual. You may experience a feeling of eye strain if you are staring at a small screen for hours at a time. Try to blink often and periodically focus on a distant object to relax your eyes.

No: You can suffer eyestrain and dryness secondary to staring and not blinking. Practice occasional blinking and use otc artificial tears not red out dropos that will make it worse.
