Has looking at screens killed your eye sight?

[Killerfeeshy]

So I just wondered, has constantly looking at screens (pc, phone, psp...) messed your eye sight up?

Well I've messed my eyes up badly since I got into coding, no joke. I spend/used to spend hours on end just staring at a screen which in about a year has increasingly killed my eye sight so basically anything further than my arms length away begins to get blurry, yeah it sucks. So how about you?

i've had bad eyesight ever since i was a kid. i'm more than certain the cause of it was sitting right in front of the tv during my kindergarden-elementary school years, and i've had glasses ever since like 3rd or 4th grade. but then again, it could be hereditary since both my parents wore glasses, as did my sisters for a while

its never messed with my eyes
(I think it might depend with the person)

It might have, I had great vision when I was younger but now, anything farther than 2 meters gets a bit blurry.

Though, my eye problem might be hereditary. My mother and grandmother wear glasses.

I wouldn't be sure either. Mine might be hereditary too. I've had glasses since 1st grade. Before that my vision was perfect. My prescription is -10.75 and -9.50. Anything farther or closer than four inches is just a blur. Yeah, my eyes are bad, and I don't think all this coding on my PSP is making it any better.

Its certainly depending on many variables, but in my case, the chicks dig the wares

Since I was about 13 I always had to sit up at the front of the classroom at school because it was the only way I could see the board without a blur. My grandparents and mother wear glasses so it could be hereditary. I don't wear glasses but now I'm in 20s, I'm considering going for an eye test at some stage.

Our eyes by nature are not made to look at a 2D thing so close. We're mainly predators and as such our eyes are made to look at preys: medium distances and with layers of varying depth. That's why today a lot of people has sighting problems. Our eyes were not made for the modern life style.

I sit whole day on computer since last 3-4 years, my father and grand-father both wear glasses. But still, my eyesight is just as it was when I was young. But yes, whenever I feel stress on my eyes I take a break and wash them with cold water! And also whenever anyone of my family members goes to ophthalmologist I come with them and test my eyes to ensure if they are still fine or not!
