If you gave been thoroughly examined by an ophthalmologist maybe you can consult a neuro physician as the cause of eye pain may not necessarily be eyesight related.

If you are using spectacle regularly and still having pain after using screen this may be due to ocular muscle weakness. You should consult Eye Hospital having Orthoptic setup. For time being you should do pen to nose (convergence)exercises. You can search youtube for instructions for this exercise.
