rkz -- glad to hear it. For those times when you can't read with your eyes, have you tried audio books? I really enjoy these (if it's a good reader) when I'm in my car, and have recently started downloading podcasts (NPR, old-time radio, spanish lessons, etc.). If you haven't tried audio books and podcasts, you might find them to be useful for those times when your eyes aren't up to reading.

I understood - I might be wrong - that human eyes evolved primarily for distance vision - ie scanning the horizon for prey with occasional detail work. This means we are subject to headaches and eye strain in a modern environment. I have nothing to back this up - read it years ago.
