answer #1: Yes, if you read them 8 hours a day, 5 days or 6 days a week.

answer #2: A terminal display is not the same as a book, it's more like 
staring at a light bulb.  The writing on a light bulb is black on white 
too (except that it's a brigher white), try staring at a light bulb for 
eight hours and see what shape your eyes are in.
