I have had the same problem.  I always thought the eye strain was a
result of cathode radiation and staring at non-reflected light.  I
prepose to buy laptop with LCD display when I have the cash, but that 
will not help me with Hi-res color graphics.  I cannot imagine the
eye strain that would be caused by the "eye-phones" (strap on CRTs) used
by Virtual Reality (TM).

I think the problem is part of the technology we use and till we 
change it we are stuck with the byproducts.
