Wear terminal eyeglasses and keep the screen at least 1.5 meters away.

This type of eyeglasses are not for helping with poor eyesight. They're specifically for reducing strain on the eyes when focusing at short distances for longer periods of time, which is the core of the problem.

Before I got a prescription for such - which has completely solved the problems I suffered for a long time - I had to resort to tricks like taking frequent breaks just to focus my eyes on things at longer distances, which is only a band-aid rather than an actual solution to the problem.

1.5m? ~5' away?

Cripes. It'd have to be a 55" screen for me to use it at that distance.
