I have always had myopia. I have been sitting behind screens for 10-16 hours
a day for about 9 years. Most of the time with CRT's you could probably use
as X-ray machines. I had an eye exam about 7 months ago, my first in 
5 or 6 years. I was told that there was almost *no* change in my vision.
I have noticed lately though that when I am driving at night, there are
big halos around all the lights. I am going to an opthamologist to have 
this checked, as it is one of the signs of glaucoma, which is probably
not related to CRT usage.
