You certainly are correct. However, there are several other causes of asthenopia (eye strain) resulting from working at a computer workstation. Please check out the following site which has a brief article by a highly recognized and well published authority on computer vision syndrome, James Sheedy, OD, PhD. http://www.allaboutvision.com/cvs/ Then, go to: http://www.doctorergo.com/allaboutvision/ and page down and click on "computer displays". It will give you some other tips on display factors as well. I practice optometry and see a fair number of people with these complaints. I always discuss refresh rates with them but often other factors play a major or very significant role in alleviating their symptoms and must be addressed as well. Hope this info is helpful. I appreciate and enjoy your website!
