You ARE aware that recent research indicates that it's the UV from CRTs
that hurt the eyes the most (can cause blindness, and a disease that I
son't know the english name of where the lens in your eyes opaquifies (sp?))
and that black-on-white screens are the WORST and amber screens (such as
your VT 220 ?) have almost no UV light ? I really think you should
reconsider having UV light "directly into your pupil".

Why do you think they make you wear those black goggles when you use a
solarium ? (at least the recommend them here... Don't know about the rest
of the world)

Oh, by the way, organic iron (such as in hemoglobin) has no magnetic
properties. It only has in pure form, and certain alloys.
