Hmm, interesting. I personally find it easier on and less tiring for my eyes with a dark-ish background, but perhaps that is harmful anyway ? However, something that we might not consider enough is the quality of the screen we are working on. I recently switched from a 4 year old 19" PC screen to an iMac G5 and the quality difference between them was truly *frightening* !! So, I've probably already screwed up my eyesight during those 4 years.
When I started programming I used a 14" flickering tv display to program on. I later got epilepsi (propbably due to the 14" display) and got some glasses. Recently I bought a 19" tft and I the picture quality is way better than on my previous 17" which was expensive. Now I find it really hard to do programming on a regular CRT display, because the S-O-S signal outputted from my eyes.
Take care of those eyeballs :-)
