24M - Would reading cause less eye strain than using a PC monitor?

Dry/watery eye

I've been suffering from what i believe is dry eyes a lot lately. Vision has gotten blurier, and certain light from some screen has a claire and slight double version. Example: white text on a black background.

Since I use a computer for 14+ hours a day, this may be why my eyes are getting so strained. I don't really have any other hobbies other than potentially reading.

So my question is, would reading a (physical) book be easier on the eyes than reading on a monitor? My first thought would be no as it's still staring and concentrating on an object close up, but am interested to see what others think.

Thanks.
