When I graduated high school I told myself that I would find a career that didn't involve using computers. Well, so much for that. Short of a few very specialized areas you need to use a computer to make big money.
The approach I've taken is to go all in on computer usage for a week or two, and then take it light for a week or two. Sometimes I think may be I'm an "addict", but when I'm away from a computer I don't feel the need to go back to one unless I get bored for some reason.
Its kind of shocking how much activity time is being converted from the offline space to online. When a girl is on her phone checking facebook, texting friends, or posting to twitter, that is being online, and it replaces things that they used to fill their time with. What that means is that your options for doing things "online" are expanding (due to market demand) while your options for offline stuff are shrinking. That means you have to consciously seek out non-computer activities (which pretty much includes 95% of the meeting chicks stuff.)
Long term I would recommend, at the very least, use a standing desk. Make sure on your breaks you leave you computer and switch your phone to off. Additionally since your body isn't burning as many calories you need to be extra vigilant in not consuming crappy foods (no soda, stick to soda or tea.)
I'm still in my 20s but I am very concerned about the health consequences of being sedentary in to my 30s. Our bodies aren't designed to sit in place all day.
As for glasses, its genetic unless you do something stupid. I've used PCs heavily for about the past 15 years without that problem.
