While I too consider CRTs superior to LCDs in regards to image quality, the average person would not consider it to outweigh the benefits of an LCD.
In regards to refresh rates, an LCD refreshing is different to a CRT and it alone is unlikely to be causing strain on your eyes. CRTs require a higher refresh rate due to the fact that if the phosphors aren't refreshed quickly, they fade to black. LCDs on the other hand have their pixels on constantly and change their colours between pixels without turning them off. This is why LCDs suffer ghosting and do not flicker (if you can see flicker, it is because of a cheap and crappy backlight).
There are also LCDs geared towards gaming these days with 2ms refresh times. I personally own a 24" dell monitor with a 6ms response and while it has the odd ghosting, I can't say I've really noticed unless I've gone looking for it. Anyway, there aren't too many CRTs that do 100hz+ at 1920x1200 (or similar 4:3 res).
