Does Computer Use Cause Nearsightedness?
Does Computer Use Cause Nearsightedness?Answer: Computer use does not typically cause nearsightedness. Nearsightedness comes from a malformed lens on the eye that makes it more difficult to focus on things at a distance. Vision can naturally worsen as you age, but that is not a result of computer use. Some evidence suggests that heavy computer use or other close-up activities in young adults can lead to nearightedness. But for most, the thought that computer use can cause nearsightedness often comes from people who do not realize they have vision problems until they start using a computer regularly. Or they use a computer for a few years and then notice the natural degradation of their vision and incorrectly link it to their computer use.
