I work on a PC all day. Being a programmer(and an engineer before that) means that I'm pretty much the uglier Siamese twin of a computer all day. Here's the bad part: it could give me glaucoma. Excerpt:

Heavy use of computers may be linked to the development of a progressive eye disease, researchers claim.

A study in Japan has found that staring at a screen could be related to glaucoma, which can lead to blindness.

The latest study, by the Toho University School of Medicine, Tokyo, finds the risk is particularly strong for the short-sighted.

Thank God I'm far-sighted. It still sucks the big fat hairy green drippy one, though.
