Computer related eyes damage-ouch!

Hmm I'm not sure about the turning off the lights now that I think about it. Which wouldn't make sense cause your kora (?in english) will open wide when there's dark thus allowing more radiation into the eye. Could be that the site mentioned sun glasses AND turned on lights.

If you can see images of your damaged lung it becomes easier to quit smoking.

Bear in mind that these stresses on the eyes are only a problem with CRT monitors. If you use an LCD or a Plasma, you'll be sweet.

And just one more ... it is a lot easier on you're eyes if you use soft colors, and use things like white on black text rather then black on white.

I was under the impression that the issue wasn't any model-specific, but rather eyestrain from looking too long.

Do LCDs have some magical incantation to prevent eyestrain?

As for eyes, if My eyes get tired I close my eyes and rub ice cubes all over it. I dunno if it helps, but thats what i do.

You may not be aware, but CRT screens flicker a lot. LCDs do not, reducing eye-strain. CRT refresh rate -- 60 to 120 times a second -- is faster than the eye can see. Nonetheless, over a long period, the flickering will split your head (what you call a "splitting headache").

Frozzy more or less covered it, but the 60-120 times a second refresh rate is not beyond what you can actually percieve (US army research shows that most people can detect movement in upto 200frames per second), but what we can blank out by concentration.
