Do you get eye strain and headaches more easily since your good eye is working harder?

Yes, I think that my good eye is moving and tracking more, versus someone with 2 working eyes.  If I want to see something on my left side, my right eye has to move way towards my nose. If I work on a computer for the better part of the day, I do get headaches at times, which I attribute to eye strain. To reduce the likelihood of eye strain and headaches, I try to look away from the computer screen frequently and focus on something in the distance. Taking breaks away from my desk throughout the day helps too.
