20/200 isn't that bad! You need to talk to someone that really needs glasses. Most of my family would love to have vision that good.
Try either turning the brightness up or down on your monitor. The monitor might be so bright it gives you a headache, or it might be so dim that you can't easily read it. I often work 16+ hours without taking a break, other than to go to the bathroom, and I've found small differences can make a big difference over the course of a day. Experiment, and you might find something you like better. I'm 74 (as of yesterday), so I have a nice Sony monitor that I have to turn-up the brightness all of the way to make it bright enough. If you're older, your monitor just might not get bright enough. Also, a better video card can make a difference. About two weeks ago, I upgraded all of the cards at the office from Tridents to ATI's, and I'm still getting free cokes and snacks from coworkers that appreciate the improvement. The better cards are much brighter, the black is no longer dark gray, and white has less of a blue tint. Also, increasing the refresh rate can help. 70 Hertz is a good setting. Most people are fine at 60, but if you look at the monitor out of the corner of your eye and can see the screen flashing, you need to increase it.z
