at least 18 inches i think. yep, it really does hurt your eyes after several hours watching or playing in your computer. sometime, to some people it triggers their migraine. a cheap accessory could help lessen the glare or radiation that comes out from the CRT or cathode ray tube monitor. this is what we called Anti-Glare glass. it may darken the display of your monitor a bit but it is okay as long as your eyes is safe.

The radiation from computer can deteriorate your eyes so do not be so close to the screen. I'm wearing spectacles so I don't know the way to prevent deterioration of eyesight. As for me, I'm wearing special lens to prevent the radiation from computer damaging my eyesight. I've read in the paper that resting your eyes for 20 seconds every 20 minutes when you are using the computer can reduce damage to your eyesight.

Yeah, it can cause damage. I was born far-sighted, so I've always had to wear glasses to look at a computer screen or to read. I'm good with televisions, since I don't sit terribly close to them, but computer screens bother me. It's REALLY bad if I look at a white screen with black text without glasses.

We shouldmaintain a minimum distance of eighteen inches from the screen of a computer to avoid damage to eye, better to use a lcd or led screen they produce less amount of harmful radiations, one can put a filter over the monitor too, it helps nice useful discussion, thnxs kalyani
