You should look into some “gaming glasses”. Best Buy has them for like $50 but you can get some off Amazon for $12 instead.
Or you should check into using something like Flux or the built in one for Windows (macOS has one too) for night mode.
We got some newer monitors in the office a few years ago and had to enable it because the blue light was giving people headaches. But the warmer colors helped decrease that a lot.
There's no actual evidence that blue light hurts your eyes, but it can affect your sleep. Instead you should worry about the distance you sit and the brightness relative to the room, as well as making sure to take regular breaks.
It might not have been causing any actual health issues, but it felt like too much on the eyes when we were sitting in relative darker areas and for longer periods of times of exposure.
Using the night mode helped a lot with that intense feeling we were feeling. Getting the glasses has helped with the feeling for myself.
I stole a pair of those from Best Buy in 2011 lol they work okay. Its the screen proximity. My eye muscles are used to viewing things up close so they stay restricted.
