Over 25 years in front of screen so here is my recipie:

* flicker-free matte IPS screen

* keeping optimal room light and screen dim

* flux or redshift on linux

* doing frequent breaks and finishing work earlier when I feel eyes may suffer, also intentionally blinking more often to rehydrate them naturally.

* try to not rub eyes with hands, if you need then wash them first.

* habit of changing position and looking at the distance while in thought process

* keeping healthy humidity in the room, especially while room heating or air-con is on.

On TODO list:

* some intelligent audio notification once some long running terminal command finishes or screen updates, possibly paired with webcam to detect my absence.

* switching between dark IDE/terminal theme and usually bright browser pages hurts my eyes, therefore I usually stick to bright themes. Maybe color inversion limited to browser would solve that.
