I discussed this my a doctor specialized in eyes once (how's that
called in English?) after getting new glasses:

She told me it can do no harm as long as:

a) You don't do it when your eyes are tired

b) You use black text on a white background (much easier for the eyes
 than the reverse it seems)
c) You use appropriate lighting, a reasonable distrance and refresh rate

(note that b and c essentially prevent a)

As for the original question: this is a forum about COMPUTERS that
play CHESS. I wouldn't know what a non-nerd could possibly do in a
forum like this.
