Follow the 20-20-20 rule. It means after every 20 minutes of computer time watch to an object whcih is at a distance of 20 feet for 20 seconds. this is a very good exercise and keeps your eyes bright. Also dont keep watching the monitor without blinking. keep blinking because it waters the eyes and keeps them fresh. now and then squint your eyes bye applying mild pressure with your forefingers. these are some of the exercises. if you know some suggest some.

No don't wet your eyes when you're using them for hours!!! (like when you've been reading, watching tv or working w/ your PC) That will cause eyestrain and thus your eyes will hurt afterwards!
Don't wash your face or splash water (especially cold!) while you're using your eyes, this isn't good. You have to rest it for at least 30 mins or so before you should wet your eyes (or anywhere around your eye area). No wonder you feel pain. Tsk tsk.

Well I didn't think of the 20-20-20 rule but I do have my office right in my home and my monitor is just one foot to the left of one of my office windows, looking out into my beautiful backyard and I constantly use that scene for inspiration.
Right now the ground is finally covered with a beautiful thick layer of pure white snow, no dirt or yellow spots out there. :)
