My guess is, the idea comes from the fact that human eyes are overwhelmingly used for looking at objects that do not emit light, and therefore extended viewing of light-emitting objects, particularly at a close distance, would strain it above and beyond "normal use".
The
degree to which this is the case from person to person may be debatable... I don't see how the "whether or not" of it can be.
Though I certainly agree with you that LCDs are certainly better, not worse, than CRTs. Not in the same class as non-light-emitting surfaces like eInk screens though.
