PCs and Your Eyes

Apparently sitting too close to the TV won't damage your eyes.  Hopefully this applies to PCs too. :) I'm petrified all the hours I spend on the computer will prevent me from even starting to get a PPL.

If you can afford one, TFT screens are way more easy on the eyes :D

I've been sat in front of  "Television" Monitor screens, CRT Monitor screens and LCD Monitor screens for around 18 hours per day for the past 26 years*...!
The problem is, my eyes get used to the fixed focus distance, and this causes my eyes to get very tired, and I have to close them regularly to rest them...
It takes a while to re-focus on a distance..!
I used to be concerned about the radiation effects over time, but so far I don't think that has has any effect on my eyes...
..they just get VERY tired... ::)...!!!

Paul....must get out more...;)... ;D...!

you know, they are saying that to appease people. i could find you a timeline of how many times the media has flipped on coffee. that seems to be a "big issue".

First, no knowledge of grits, now, no coffee?  You really are a Northerner, aren't you.
