I'm just wondering how much of that research was done on people with over-40 eyes? It's not something that's usually discussed until your peer group passes that mark, but your visual acuity starts to change. As you progess onward, and as women go through the "Change", problems like decreased tear production start to affect your eyes. Staring at LCD screens seems to exacerbate that problem, tiring out the eyes sooner.

So all of you folks who don't have problems with LCD screens now - just wait.
