The CRT and flourescent bulbs aren't causing problems. Post surgical
clouding of the lens capsule is due to trauma suffered during the
surgery and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. Many of the
causes of eye disease are beyond your control -- natural aging,
genetics, anatomy.

Things that you can do to keep good vision:
First and foremost -- DON"T SMOKE, if you do, quit if you don't, don't
start
Wear safety glasses at work, for sports and when doing chores at home
Wear UV protective sunglasses for all outdoor activities
Eat a healthy diet, high in fruits and veggies, fish twice a week, red
meat no more than twice a week, alcohol in moderation
Exerise at least 30 minutes every day.
See your family doctor regularly and follow advice if hypertensive or
diabetic or have other systemic disease
See your eye doctor yearly.

OK. I'm not sure we have any incandescent bulbs in use in our house.
They don't make sense anymore. The newer CFLs come on right away, don't
flicker, are just as cheap to buy, and have a good color of light.

No, I guess I wasn't clear. Fluorescent bulbs generate negligible EMR,
especially at their usual distance.

Those "sunglasses" are "blueblockers", of course?

Do florescent bulbs create more EMF? I find it hard to believe.

Getting rid of CRTs is a good idea. It's much easier seeing the LCDs.

Well, maybe a couple minutes. I've had both eyes done, and it was
trivial. I understand that there are some risks.

Why would you do that?

If you are concerned about the emissions from these devices, you should
immediately discard your blow dryer, electric razor, and cell phone, stay
away from all power tools and large electric motors, and for God's sake
never get an MRI. Those devices can easily deliver "radiation" several log
units more intense. The good news is nobody's ever shown any risk to the eye
from the electromagnetic fields they generate.

Good nutrition, vitamin/lutein supplements, exercise, control your blood
pressure and blood sugar. Wear sunglasses outdoors.

Cloudy capsules happen despite the surgeon's best efforts. It only takes a
few seconds to fix.

Life is full of better things to worry about.

Is there any risk of further damage to my eyes after cataract surgery
by using a computer 8-12 hours a day? I got rid of my CRT after the
surgery and only use LCD monitors at home and work. I also eliminated
all florescent bulbs in my home. What can I do to minimize the risk
of developing other eye problems (like clouding of the lens capsule)?
I could theoretically live for another 60 years and want to have good
vision for the rest of my life.
