Just to drive the point home, I've been programming since '64,
did my first online application in '71.  Didn't need any glasses
until I hit age 55.  Still get by with +1.25 glasses 13 years later.

It appears looking at computer screens is very, very good for
the eyes.

The flicker in an improperly set up CRT probably could bother
your eyes.  (Never bothered me.)  But these flat panel LCDs
are pretty much like looking at the real world except for
the fact that you only focus at one depth.

If you worry a lot, look around a bit to avoid that.
