Does anyone know how bad it is for your eyes comparing the use of a computer all the time as to when we were kids and they talked about this with too much TV use? I have wondered if its worse now, since a computer you sit a tad closer to the screen.

No, its all an urban myth. Yes, you might suffer tiredness and eye strain but once you sleep it fixes itself and will not 'ruin' your eyes.

I know for a fact that after using the computer for hours my eyes definitely feel very tired. I think the bad effects can be countered by adjusting the contrast so that there is not too much or too little light.

Sometimes I end up getting what I call fuzzy eyes and that just means I am well past the tired stage. Otherwise the only thing that really bothers me is a ton of florescent lighting.
