1. A radiation reduction system which attaches to the front of a VDT comprising: (a) a frame including an anti-glare enclosure having an opaque top wall and spaced opaque sidewalls defining an open front viewing area;  (b) mounting means for mounting said frame on a CRT;  (c) a first reflector mounted in said enclosure substantially in front of said VDT and being positioned to reflect on image from said VDT to a second reflector and a non-visible wavelength blocking means coupled with said first reflector to at least partially block radiation frequencies outside the visible spectrum;  (d) a second reflector being mounted in said enclosure and positioned to reflect an image from said first reflector to a viewing station in front of said first reflector, such that a person sitting at said viewing station can observe substantially all of an image on said VDT through said viewing area while being substantially shielded from non-visible radiation from the VDT by said first reflector and by ambient glare, by said top wall and said sidewalls.  (a) a frame;  (b) mounting means for mounting said frame on a CRT;  (c) a first reflector mounted in said frame substantially in front of said VDT and being positioned to reflect an image from said VDT to a second reflector; and  (d) a second reflector being mounted in said frame and positioned to reflect an image from said first reflector to a viewing station in front of said first reflector, such that a person sitting at said viewing station can observe substantially all of an image on said VDT while being substantially shielded from non-visible radiation from the VDT by said first reflector;  (e) said second reflector comprising a sheet of allyldiglycol carbonate.  (a) a frame;  (b) mounting means for mounting said frame on a CRT;  (c) a first reflector mounted in said frame substantially in front of said VDT and being positioned to reflect an image from said VDT to a second reflector; and  (d) a second reflector being mounted in said frame and positioned to reflect an image from said first reflector to a viewing station in front of said first reflector, such that a person sitting at said viewing station can observe substantially all of an image on said VDT while being substantially shielded from non-visible radiation from the VDT by said first reflector;  (e) said first reflector being lined with a screen of ferromagnetic material; and,  (f) said first reflector being carried on a grounded tray. 2. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said first reflector is in front of and adjacent the lower portion of said VDT and said second reflector is above said first reflector in front of the upper portion of said VDT such that an image from said VDT is first reflected upwardly and rearwardly by said first reflector and the reflected forwardly by said second reflector and at least one of said reflectors is pivotally adjustable about an axis transverse to said longitudinal axis. 3. Structure according to claim 2 wherein both of said reflectors are rotationally adjustable in said frame about a horizontal axis. 4. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said mounting means permits vertical adjustment of said frame on said VDT. 5. Structure according to claim 4 wherein said mounting means comprises a bail having attachment means attaching same to the top of said VDT, said bail having ends engaging said frame. 6. Structure according to claim 5 wherein said attachment means comprises a grooved block mounted atop said VDT and having a plurality of parallel grooves to selectively seat said bail. 7. Structure according to claim 6 wherein said frame provides a plurality of selectable attachment point pairs for the ends of said bail and said bail is rotatably engaged in selected ones of said attachment points. 8. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said first reflector is lined with a screen of ferromagnetic material. 9. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said first reflector is lined with lead foil. 10. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said sidewalls are substantially parallel with the sides of said VDT and including a rear wall extending from the top of said VDT to said top wall. 11. Structure according to claim 10 wherein said top wall is vertically adjustable to accommodate different frame adjustments and different user anatomies. 12. Structure according to claim 11 wherein said sidewalls define top wall channels in which said top wall slidably seats, and substantially vertical rear wall channels in which rear wall seats. 13. Structure according to claim 12 wherein said rear wall defines a plurality of transverse slots which are selectably engageable by the rear edge of said top wall, whereby said rear wall is made adjustable. 14. Structure according to claim 1 wherein one of said reflectors is in front of and adjacent the lower portion of said VDT and is lined with at least one radiation-absorbing layer, and the other of said reflectors is substantially transparent to electromagnetic radiation above the visible spectrum. 15. Structure according to claim 14 wherein said first reflector is said one of said reflectors and said second reflector is said other of said reflectors. 16. Structure according to claim 1 wherein said second reflector comprises a sheet of polycarbonate. 17. Structure according to claim 16 wherein said sheet of polycarbonate is impregnated with black azo dye. 18. Structure according to claim 1 and including a pair of eyeglasses having lenses with a clear central region surrounded by an annular gradient tint darkening toward the edges of said lenses, such that only a solid cone of light wide enough to encompass said VDT is admitted to the eye. 19. Structure according to claim 18 wherein said clear central portion is on the order of 1 cm to 2 cm in diameter. 20. A radiation reduction system for a VDT comprising: 21. Structure according to claim 20 wherein said sheet of allyldiglycol carbonate is impregnated with black azo dye. 22. A radiation reduction system for a VDT comprising:
