Do CRT/TV screens damage your skin/eyes/face???

I remember reading somewhere that the large(deep) tvs and similar monitors(CRT) use Cathode rays to illuminate them, and that this radiation leaks out a little bit and can effect the eyes of someone who is watching closely. I assume the electrons will stop nearly instantly once the hit the air, rather they will almost stop but still drift. is it possible that they can effect our skin by ionising the molecular structure of the cells. if so how could this be healed/countered. and is it the same with 'flat' screens?

There are several urban myths about this, but the reality is that crt's are harmless. You are likely to have problems due to poor posture/ ergonomics when working in front of a crt or flat panel monitor for extended periods of time - but you have nothing to fear from the monitor or t.v. itself.
