I can only provide anecdotal evidence, and I was not officially diagnosed with it, but I definitely have plenty of the issues listed. Since I adopted the Pomodoro Technique (25min work, 5min break), I have noticed that a lot of my symptoms have subsided. My biggest issues were headaches and blurry vision.

Doing things outside helps me. Which makes sense, the whole point is to ease work for the ciliary muscles and allow them to fully relax. That happens by de-flexing the lens...which happens at a focal distance of 'infinity.'

(I'm a layperson, hopefully all of my terms were correct.)

Time outdoors is my best cure for this. It seems to be some combination of doing less active, narrow-target focusing, and having the option to look longer distances. 20 feet is doable indoors, but focusing 500 feet away is often out of the question.
