I needed glasses before I started using computers a lot. So yes, I use a computer, and yes, I need glasses, but the two are not related.

I need glasses, but I needed them long before I spent a lot of time on a computer.. in fact in the years since I started using a computetr a lot, my vision has pretty much leveled off to the extent that my perscription has only gotten stronger once in like 8 years.

No glassses. At work I look at a CRT for 8 hours, then at home on an LCD for another 3-5.

And yes, my wife constantly reads and uses the computer (probably a total of 8-10 hours most days) and has perfect vision.

if nearsighted is cause by genes, inherited. so lets step back quite a few thousand years back when glasses aren't invented yet, so basicly those ppl that are born with it is F***?

doesnt make sense.

Evolution. Some things are picked up, dropped and inherited.

page2,3,4 are on the lower left.

My vision got worse every year thanks to glasses that kept fixing my eyesight to 20/20. These glasses made my eyes worse, eventually to 20/800 so a new eye doctor recommended I get my glasses adjusted to 20/50 instead of 20/20 or 20/10 and since then my eyes have not gotten worse since they still need to work to focus, actually I think they have gotten better. I got weaker glasses after that and my vision still improves slightly.

The doctor that recommended I not get my vision fixed to 20/20 had eyes as bad as me, probably by being prescribed glasses that adjusted vision to 20/20.

If it wasnt for the information he gave me, I would probably be like 20/2000 now

I don't need glasses, but I have them for extreme long distance; it returns my vision to its original 20/20L:20/15R.

But I only use them when I really want to.
