Apply the 20-20 rule which means take 20 seconds break every 20 minutes of screen usage. Adjust the device brightness according to your eye- comfort. Make sure to blink your eyes quite often so that your eyes are lubricated. 

Lastly, invest in high quality screens and anti-glare technology to minimize eye strain.
