I have recently been having trouble seeing late at night. I usually work on my computer for most of the day, and by 8:00pm or so my eyes start to get blurry and it is hard to make out what is on the screen.
I have a feeling that it might be the 60hz screen on my laptop. Has anyone heard of such a thing where a specific refresh rate hurts their eyes?
I am used to 75hz. I have always had 75hz screens.
Thanks.

Wear sunglasses lol. That's what I did when I started seeing halos thanks to a possible ophthalmic migraine problem.

Could always pick up some Gunnar glasses, helps with eye fatigue and computer vision syndrome. I have a pair and they do help.

Re: 60 vs 75
Good ol trick i do is focus at a distant point, away from your screen for 30 seconds... always worked for me 
Re: 60 vs 75
I will say that changing refresh rates may help.
A lot of people are more comfortable using the computer for longer if their rates are up in the 70s. It's less stressful on your eyes.
