It's normally said that if staring at a computer screen all day or playing computer games you should have regular breaks to give your eyes a break

If you have a window, focusing off into the distance (if you have that, too) is great exercise for them. Perhaps the visual equivalent of listening into the detail of a mix..? Apparently gazing a bit at blue sky, due to its wavelength, is also of benefit.. I gather it's a natural "daily intake" thing.

can the same said about giving your ears a break?

Yes, most definitely. Even, for example, at a ref 80/85dBSPL monitoring level.

Attended sessions I suppose would be quite difficult but just interested to see what people approaches in general are.

Usually a simple, friendly "how about a short break/tea/coffee?". For a lunch break I might give the client(s) 1/2 hr extra time than myself, to give me time for emails/calls/other admin, etc.
