Do all CRTs bother those with sensitivity? For instance can you watch TV on a CRT? What about plasma screen TVs, although I don't really understand them, I don't think they work by florescence?
I know since monitors have improved, my eyes are less sensitive -- the old monitors were very hard on my eyes. Not sure if I can coorelate any general health effects. My newer monitors that are flat screen are so much better. I have never used any of the filters you speak of but am intrigued. I am very interested in the EMF sensitive and also the effects of flouroescent lighting. Doesn't Ott reccomend full spectrum flouroescent lights? My husband gets styes easily, often from burning trash or mowing. So did his Dad. I wonder if looking at the computer screen makes them worse. He uses CS to clear them, it seems to take longer if he is spending a lot of time in front of the computer. Not so much with a TV but that is a different type of viewing I suppose.
