Not a problem: The eyes will work as hard as they can to accomplish any task you give to them. Computer use is drying so any symptoms you get like blur, redness, fatigue, headaches, during systained work, is most likely from dryness. Use eyedrops to deal with this. There is no long term harm from this use and U will not accelerate your eye aging or cause eye illness.
