Desperately need help with my eye pains :(

Desperately need help with my eye pains :(

Hi, I go on the computer for the most big part of the day, and I generally have no eye problems whatsoever.
I am 14, I have excellent eyesight (not bragging, but I do) and I do not need to wear glasses, contacts or any other eye medication/treatments.

A few days ago I bought a new game which I have been crazy about playing, and since its the holidays, I have stayed up to 6 am + just playing, but I do sleep through out the day, and take naps which makes me feel as if I slept all night anyways. But today I have been having some eye pain at the back of my eye, and its starting to get a bit irritating.

I need some way to make this feel better, is reading a book a good way to reduce strain or what? The pain comes in the back of my eyes, and I am sort of worried as of what to do right now... Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

PS: I just want to know any way to make my eyes feel better, and what the cause of the problem is.
I also am using a well lit LCD monitor, lighting is just perfect and there is no weird deformities on the monitor itself. I am just worried about if this will affect my eyesight later on in a few years time.

Thank you!!



UPDATE nearly 2 days after:

So I have slept nearly the WHOLE day, and still my eyes hurt when I look at the computer, sometimes not as much and sometimes a lot. And sometimes it will hurt regardless of what I am looking at....

Is there any more suggestions anyone can give me!? The pain sometimes is worse but generally its less than it used to be...

Anyone who can help, I really appreciate it :)

Here is a picture of one of my eyes, is there anything wrong that's visible? http://i.imgur.com/fzcwh.jpg

Should I try to avoid the computer? I need the computer for my work and its pretty important, but if I have to, then I will.
My vision is still good, my mum refuses to take me to a doctor because she thinks I sleep during the day(since the holidays) and not at night, should i force myself to sleep at night?

You should not use the computer or read or do any near work for about 48 hours.  Go to bed by 10 PM two nights in a row and get at least 8 hours of sleep.  During the day, go outdoors to the park or other relaxing place (mall if in cold weather) and try to relax.  It should go away.  If it doesn't, go see an ophthalmologist.
