raster burn
a slang term used by hackers to describe computer vision syndrome (cvs).
irritation of the eyes that occurs after hours of staring into a lcd or crt computer monitor, where the millions of phosphor dots start to “burn” your eyes. this happens especially after looking at plain text for hours, such as when writing code.
using the green-over-black color scheme while coding reduces raster-burn, as does wearing lightly tinted sungl-sses, especially if they are polarized.
“the mirrored sungl-sses the teenager worn were round and black, john lennon numbers. worn to prevent “raster burn” from the phosphor dot symbols displayed on his screen.” -hackers, david bischoff
