Take a break every 1 hour for 2-5 minutes. Use rehydration drops if you have dry eyes. Avoid low lighting areas and I try to reduce brightness in my laptop if it hurts my eyes. Supplements for Vitamin A,C, B3 etc. are also helpful (use it after a medical advice though).

On the subject of drops, it's worth speaking to a pharmacist about getting eye cream/gel if you find that you suffer from dry eyes.
I used to get occasional headaches, and maybe once or twice a year I'd get a minor corneal abrasion, which I assumed was from stuff getting into my eyes. After a while, I was recommended by a doctor to try an eye cream for night use, and the difference was vast. Alongside my eyes feeling much better, I was sleeping better as well, which the doctor put down to how the eyes move in the head while asleep, and my eyes scratching against my lids.
I use drops during the day when I feel the need to, and on occasion when I feel tired I'll use the eye cream. Since then, no problems with my eyes and no headaches.
