I started noticing them about 10 years ago when I got my first iMac. Prior to that I'd mostly used smaller CRT displays, suddenly my field of view was taken up by this big white screen and what were those dark shadows floating around my view...
A few years on and I still see them, especially when using a 21+ inch screen on white web pages. Just part of get old...
making the text larger helps as well.
except when i look at bright light, or if i am tired. they will always be there. forever... unless you do an operation, which you should not do unless they are causing real issue for your sight.
i have had them for 6 years now, panicked the first year or two i had them because they were so many and you can't just look away...
but i get my eyes checked every 6-12 month, and see if i need correction for my astigmatism.
At first I couldn’t stop noticing them, but after a year or so I got used to it, and it hasn’t gotten worse. My myopia has improved though...
I did a screen free 2 weeks but it didn't do anything.
one factor people miss is that, it's not just the amount you spend staring at screen that causes eyestrain and headache, but also how focused you are, we squint a lot when we focus and that appearantly is an issue, looking at a screen for 3 hours without having to think hard versus 1 hour of hard squint, the 1 hour is more damaging. for me at least...
