How is your vision?

Based on this thread, I decided to start this poll, as a warning for young kids out there. Be sincere in your vote!

I've been seeing some very dangerous things happening, like ppl that never wear glasses, after buying their first computers, now are wearing glasses. Some friends are losing 1 point of myopia/estigmatism every year.

My personal experience was horrible: my eyes became red after playing in the computer for a couple of hours. My sister went into my room and said: "Man, looks like you're using one of this lens ppl use on devil's movies!". I went to a mirror and, indeed, the white part of the eyes were totaly red! I went back to the store and exchange the 22' monitor for a 15' LCD (yeah, maybe that's why they're more expensive

) and never had any more problems w/ my beloved green eyes.

Yeah I have a LCD and wear glasses. But I only wear them at school to see stuff on the board. Like I can read the screen find but if I stand about 4ft back I can't read this text. I can still read the .map at the top about 8ft back....

I should make a poll on the type of computer you have....

I could find a snowflake 20 ft away with my glasses on! I do have very good vision on tiny things!

I have a 17" CRT right now, I had a glare screen but my wife broke it

I stare at a CRT at work and home probly 10 to 14 hours a day. I don't wear glass's and my eye's never bother me.

I heard your eye's have to refocus 20,000 times when looking at a monitor for 8 hours.

You're not supposed to play in the computer

is your 'p'c so big or are you so tiny?

I guess so far I am the lucky one.
My vision has actually improved with age.
My last eye exam ( required 1x/year for my job), which was taken 3 months ago, showed that I have 20/15 vision in both eyes.

So all the staring I do at a 19" CRT monitor has done me no harm at all.

But that same vision does not stop me from getting my butt whipped in MoHAA.

ive been on computers since i was 7 (b4 i even got a comp) .and the monitors then were even more terrible
.i spend about 3-6 hours a day on a comp .im now 18 and i havent stopped using CRT monitor .and i havent suffered any eye problems yet .
however my eye sometimes hurts when i spend like 16 hours or so (only on boring days),but i guess thats normal (that my eyes hurt,not 16 hours)

LOL jv map

Maybe it was the EMI ( electro magnetic induction ) emetting from the mother board he was running around on that caused the red eye's.

Or the lack of circulation in a pc case

See ya in a couple of years.

and why it doesn't happen w/ LCD?

Seems that CRT does not affect the vision..Cool!

i posted in the 2nd topic because i dont have glasses and have a crt monitor.and usually my eyes dont hurt unless i spend an abnormal amount of time on a comp .

A CRT shoots a beam at the back of the screen that burns the image into the phosphorouse (misspelled) material.
It does the same thing to your eye's!

An LCD does not. Nor do transistor based screens like flat screens.

So, CRT's are definitly harder on your eye's.
