I've been reading books on a PC Monitor for 20 years. I'm 73 now. My last visit to my Ophthamologist 8 months ago revealed I have 20 / 20 vision in both eyes, no glaucoma and no cataracts.

Since my life exectancy is no more than 7 years, my eyes don't really have to last longer than that. The latest CDC tables shows that of 100,000 white males born in my decade of the 1930's only 46,000 are alive at age 70; 34,000 alive at age 75; 20,000 alive at age 80; and only 10,000 alive at age 85. 50% of those surviving over age 85 have Alzheimer's Disease.

I think my reading habits beat most folks born in the 1930's. Sorry, pal.
