... for long periods of time bother your eyes?

Mine seem to get all gooey feeling... almost like the feeling of contacts when you are in a smokey bar drinking a lot. And in the morning I'm usually a little blurry and have a small glob of something in there sometimes.

I was kind of thinking it might be more from LCD monitors than CRT.. I don't remember my eyes feeling like this before getting a an LCD and a laptop.

On occasion I've stared at the monitor for so long that when I got to bed look at the ceiling  I can only see a black square in the center of my vision

Yes it can.


You may not go blind like other things.  But it will strain our eyes.

Change the refresh rate to 75hz. it's easier on your eyes. also any bright(white) background images will hurt your eyes as well...kinda like staring at a lightbulb.

also a tidbit of advice as far as eyedrops go(specifically "clear eyes"). You can grow a dependency on the stuff and if you use it so often eventually your tearducts won't produce enough moisture for your eyes. A friend of mine had to undergo surgery where they put metal  wire about  3 or 4 inches long into each tearduct. No beuno.

Is it safe ot adjust the refresh rate on an LCD... I don't know.

I'll pass on that... no more eyedrops for me.

Depends what's on the screen...

A picture of the Tubgirl, for example can permanently damage your retinas....

Several long workdays in row tend to mess up my depth perception.  On the way home from work I can't seem to focus on anything farther away than the windshield.

Perhaps you should consider getting a bus pass... that sounds dangerous.

Staring at a computer screen all day does hurt your vision.

I don't know if it's any worse than reading a book for the same amount of time, but there is no mistaking why people who read a lot are more prone to needing glasses.

Only if you are looking at pRon with your pants around your ankles.

I keep the resolution high so that the letters are very small.

It forces me to focus for a long time on things that my slightly nearsighted vision doesn't see easily.  I have noticed that over the past several years, my vision stopped getting worse since I ditched glasses, and now I am seeing almost 20/20 in my good eye.

I'd say that it all depends on how you sit at the screen.

Put your nose up to the sreen looking at this image, and slowly back off, like you are looking through the picture.

LCD panels are much easier on the eyes, actually.  They don't flicker like a CRT, and they don't emit harmful radiation like a CRT.

Your eyes hurt for one or more of the following reasons:

- You don't blink very often, which dries out your eyes.
- You are staring at a fixed distance for too long.
- There is excessive glare on your screen from other light sources in the room.
- Your CRT isn't at the best refresh rate (not an issue for LCDs).

The most important thing is to take regular breaks where you can focus your eyes at varying distances, and that you reduce glare.
