Alright awesome. I'll definitely try those things.
My refresh rate was always at that 75 . I think it could be because I had my monitor really bright. I changed that and it seems to be easier on the eyes.
Plus I found this interesting program that changes the colour temprature of your monitor depending on the time of the day. Don't know yet if this helps, but a friend reccomended it. So we'll see.

Also learned to keep a bottle of eye drops by the computer. =)
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll definitely do the 1 hour- 10 min break thing and will fool around with the lighting to see what works.
