Question: Dose a CRT hurt your eyes if you are infront of it for six to eight hours a day? 

Answer: I do know that it causes eye strain.  I hear many people say that they wear glasses now because they have worked with computers for so long but, if the computers were the cause I don't know.  I would suggest that you take many short breaks, (looking at something else or looking at a distance somewhere in the office or out a window), from staring at the CRT for so long and keep a comfortable distance while working with the CRT.
