no sunglasses will make it worse. The only things you can do are drink water, stop using computers and sleep.

if you are going for a swim by any chance in the sea... open your eyes underwater.. because salty water cleans your eyes.. and try staying away from your computer for a while

Maintaining well-lit areas when focusing on small text or breaks every now and again whilst working at a computer screen should sort you out.

Take hourly breaks, not 1 minute breaks, but 15 minute ones. Get some more sleep.

Post-it Note

It could be tiredness/eye strain as the others have suggested, but your eyes could also be dry.
Try optrex and see if you notice any difference?

I get this whenever I overcook it on the computer.

Just remember the 20/20/20 rule. Look at something 20 feet away (or shut your eyes and move them around - or do eye excercises - lots of good ones on Google), for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes. It doesnt hurt to get up every hour and have a drink of water and a stretch too - it may seem like a waste of time but towards the end of the day you'll feel healthier and more productive.

Not to mention - the eye ache is your eyes saying "this is too much"

If it still doesnt get better after trying this - see your optician.
