Effect of computer screens on eyes

If anyone knows about the possible effects computer screens have on eyes, I'd 
appreciate comments and help. My e-mail address is SHRMIC09 at scilab.uct.ac.za

I am at a bit of a loss. When I use computer screens, my eyes become sensitive 
to bright light, and I get pixel afterimages which last for several hours or 
days. I've had this for a few years now, but it's become worse lately. I find 
colour monitors affect my eyes more so than the old green/orange monitors.

My optometrist was unable to help, except to tell me that my eyes were fine 
(apart from a very slight case of long-sightedness).

As I said above, any response will be welcome.
Many thanks
