When you are outside, you aren't standing directly out in the sun, but usually in shade. Also, you aren't staring up at the sun directly the way you are looking at a computer monitor.
I believe being close to a computer monitor must have some effects. Hmm... I'm reading various webpages... the ones that aren't trying to sell anything say there isn't anything harmful coming from my computer screen, while those who wish to sell something say all sorts of horrible things will happen if I don't protect myself from it. Oh well.
Fluorescent lights have less UV radiation than the sun does, but it is still enough to cause problems in some people perhaps. I don't use the things, so I don't really care to read too much more about them. To many differant reports saying differant things.
The flicker of a computer screen does give eye strain and headaches to people, but that is something unrelated to UV radiation apparently. Nevermind then. I just got my initial information from the wrong webpages.
Except of course the thing about the infants going blind. The research I linked to sounds more convincing than the stuff you linked to.
