text: dose a crt hurt your eyes if you are infront of it for six to eight hours a day?   i do know that it causes eye strain.  i hear many people say that they wear glasses now because they have worked with computers for so long but, if the computers were the cause i don't know.  i would suggest that you take many short breaks, (looking at something else or looking at a distance somewhere in the office or out a window), from staring at the crt for so long and keep a comfortable distance while working with the crt.
