I'm thinking smart phones are only going to add to the problem. http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/eye-condition-70-adults-without-knowing-193700906.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all like the bright vivid colors when a monitor is set up for pictures or movies, but the contrasts are not good for your eyes. Most monitors have preset modes that you can switch easily and using the text mode will relieve a lot of the strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
