Eye Hurting When Looked At Computer. Why? Due To Repositioning Of Computer Screen?

My left eye has been hurting for the past couple of weeks whenever i look at the computer screen.Now the only thing that has changed in the past two weeks is I have moved my computer screen to my right side which means i always have to turn right and see it from an angle.Why does my eyes hurt?Is it to do with the repositioning of the computer screen?Thank you.

This is called Computer Vision syndrome.
1.Computer hygiene:
The computer has to be placed straight in front of you at 15 degrees angle from you.
Use anti reflective screen.
2.There is a chance you have some minute amount of refractive error too...please get checked with that.
3. Some tear substitutes like Optive/refresh liqigel eye drops would soothe your eyes.
