I did that for 3 years on a daily use set...By the time I had practiced enough to fix the cat on that favorite set I was completely sick of the green ring. That set has been 3' away from my bed for more than 5 years since I fixed the cataract. It has been through a house move, bumped, shaken, jumped on, frozen and heated beyond human comfort, face exposed to uneven direct sun light from windows, and ran countless hours...It is still fine, and I don't worry about it...The only way I see that tube going is by intentional destruction by human(s), or the cathodes wearing out from overuse (inevitable).
