Of course I have a nice comfortable chair, and I do get up since I usually have a drink next to me and have to get up to let it out.
I've been using terminals/pc's since 1981 when I started working at the age of 20. I have always had bad eyesight and went through a 10 year period of changing eyesight from about 30-40 which the eye doctor said was NORMAL (and welcomed me to MIDDLE AGE!) for everyone. I go every single year to have my eyesight checked, and my eyesight has been stable now closing in on 20 years since I've been reading with the same pair of glasses at least that long.
If screens were having a damaging effect on my eyes it would have been detected decades ago.
So as Lee and DD have stated, the claims of screens being bad for eye health are just wishful thinking and out right lies.
