Q. I use my computer mostly for Internet and Word, and I do a lot of reading on the computer. I have a standard 17 inch monitor that is dying and I'm trying to figure out what size to replace it with.
A. It'll be the text size that matters more than the screen size. So in your case you'll actually want to consider a screen with a lower, not higher, resolution. Unfortunately, almost all new computer monitors on the consumer market these days are LCD with only some very low-end and some very high-end being available with CRT monitors.
LCD's generally cause less eye strain than a CRT monitor with a low refresh rate (<72 Hz) but the fluorescent backlight in LCD's can also cause eye strain. If you can find a good CRT with a high refresh rate, then I'd go with that. Don't make the resolution too high, or else your text will show up too small on the screen, and that will increase eye strain. (LCD monitors are fussy about changing resolutions, as they have a "native" resolution and must scale to this, so if your computer isn't set to its native resolution, things will look stretched or grainy.)

How do you rest your eyes from longterm computer eye strain?
Q. I use to have wide & opened eyes, someone even said I looked like a cartoon now they look like 50 yrs older then they should. I've to wear sunglasses at day cause they're scary!
Now I've decided it's time I discipline myself and stop abusing my eyes, I'd like some tips besides the obvious "Don't use the computer anymore!"

A. Good you wear sun glasses, with UV 400, of course. But you should observe the following recommendations.
Avoid Straining the Eyes
Short-term effects of eyestrain include eye pain, watering, blurry(become unclear) or double vision, and headaches. Working on a computer for long hours does affect eyes to some extent. However, the new-age LCD monitors have very little impact on the eyes. Nevertheless, here are some tips:
1.Use a glare(strong fierce light) filter if required.
2.Try changing the angle of the monitor.
3.Avoid sitting too close to the monitor.
4.Follow the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
