Bill, my wife has suffered the same fate. Besides poor eyesight running in her family, Years of staring at a computer screen at work took a lot of it's toll.

The most damage was probably caused by the 'green' or 'orange' screens back in the day.

I remember working with one of her early computers, and it wasn't 5 minutes before my eyes were hurting. I kept darkening the screen until it was almost out, but to no avail. Glad those days are over.

I always try to stay pretty far away from the monitor. I am about 6
feet right now and I did the same thing in my office.
I also used yellow on light blue for my colors. It seemed easier on
the eyes than all the other choices.

I am not sure what the numbers are but my eye doctor says all I need
is garden variety reading glasses. I do OK for everything but close
work in bad light and I can't read a 1/4" glass fuse anymore. I
remember when I used to be the fuse reader for the "old guys".

You stay 6' from the computer monitor?
