Are excessive hours on a compute linked to poor eyesight?
Sadly but truly which is the reason why I am wearing glasses right now. There isn’t really much you can do,but go to the eye doctor as soon as possible because the more you wait the worse your eyes get. This leads to straining and when you strain your eyes you also make them worse. Try to cut down your limit of hours on the computer. If you are lucky you can get contacts wait too long and it’ll be to late. I can read fine without my glasses as you say but it’s just uncomfortable. Here’s the test I take when you are in a car read the signs (not when you get up close to them) or read signs for stores if you can you’re good if not go to an eye doctor.
Yes. Also depends on what kind of monitor you are using and the brightness etc as this can cause damage over time. I have been using computers for about 8 years now as I work with them and are in front of a monitor for more than 8 hours a day, I have only just recently started having problems though. Ive been told my eyesight is perfect when not using the computer but I have to wear glasses sat at the pc or my eye muscles spasm which causes me headaches and makes my eyes sore.
