mild radiation from the computer screen is potent enough to interfere with Ur good health; though not cancer at a stretch. It is not advisable to sit before the computer for hours together.

It is prudent to drink two glasses of water, just U sit before the computer; so that U r young to get up for pissing.Again take a glass of water after pissing. This regimen shall give U break not only from the computer screen, but also renders mobility to Ur body organs, hands, feet, spinal cord, eyes, ears, etc., etc.

U must select the computer table and chair in such a way that Ur feet shall always be touching the ground. good luck..

First of all, don't sit on the computer that long! It can be very damaging for your eyes. And no, staring at a screen all day cannot give you cancer so don't worry about that. Your eyes are probably just bugging out from staring at the screen. Try sleeping for awhile and resting your eyes under a cool cloth. If the pain keeps on going for more than a week, you might want to see your doctor. Hope I helped!

No. Allergies DO actually come out in your eyes, I'm allergic to this type of grass (don't know what it's called), and my eye always gets fully red and like 3x normal size, unless I take medications.

Your parents are probably trying to stop you from going on the computer so much, by trying to scare you. Anyways, don't be so afraid of cancer, whether you believe me or not, cancer can simply beaten with belief, that you will survive. I know many people anyways who survived cancer without anything special, it's nothing extraordinary and so scary, that you should deal with this, don't be scared.

You can get cancer from anything.

Everyone has cancerous cells in their body, they can be triggered by lots of things. ..

as for your eyes hurting- I think you've just over-strained your eyes, making them ache. When using the computer try only using it for an hour maximum, then taking a break. If you've been continually staring at a lit up computer screen no wonder your eyes hurt! hope this helps

As much as I'd love to goof on this question, the answer is: no. You might get eye strain, but no cancer.
