Eye exam: This can be from dry eyes or improper focusing in the eyes- you need glasses. Go to your eye doctor to find out.

Few things it can be: Usually around the age of 40 (i see you are 39) we start to lose the ability to focus at near objects/distances. That can arise with symptoms exactly like what you are describing. May i suggest you go to a pharmacy or 99cent store and buy over the counter reading glasses at a strength of +1.00. That should alleviate your symptoms. If it doesn't work then see your local eye doctor. Good luck!

You need glasses: It sounds like you need glasses for these tasks. Make an appointment with an eye doctor.
