Can my eyesight?

Question

I'm 13 and I go on the computer a lot. Especially in the summer. A few hours a day. My eyesight is 20/20 so I was wondering if my eyesight could get worse from that? I've been going on the computer for a few hours a day for a few years and I haven't noticed a difference.

Answer 1

I am on the computer constantly and I always have been.  I was playing on it since 5 or 6 and I'm 10 now.  My eyes started getting worse when I was 9.  It's just for people like me.  You might not get glasses for a while...

Answer 2

yea it could..but everyones does naturally just by aging

Answer 3

Hi Hayley...

The important thing to do at your age and with computer use , is to make sure you keep the monitor as far away as you can...suggested distance is 30 inches , so that your eyes aren't having to spend a lot of time in the close focus mode.

And take very frequent breaks, just looking around the room for a few seconds , every few minutes...

Your eyes are more comfortable when in the relaxed position, which is distance vision...the lens of the eye is in it's natural state then.

So, as long as you take care not to pass long periods with the monitor too close...you will be fine.

Answer 4

Have annual eye check ups and make sure you take breaks.

Answer 5

I don't know if this helps any, but I'm the same way [20/20 vision, looks @ a comp screen most of the time, etc.]; I've been doing that for years and I haven't noticed a change in my vision. your eyes may get a little blurry sometimes if you've been staring @ a screen for hours but most of the time that's just because your eyes are tired or dry in which case you just need to take a break for a bit or get some eye drops. If you're still worried about it you should get a vision check and ask if there are things you can do to prevent the decline of your vision while still being able to spend enough time at the comp.this worked/works for me anyways. I hope it helps.

Answer 6

Yes..... you will increase your eyesight power if you continue your bad habit. Don't spend so much time on computer. Do some eye massage for a 10 to 15 mins a day after your computer, it helps to reduce the tireness of your eyes and also help to maintain your eyesights degree. Since you are 13, you still can reduce your eyesight to 5/5....

Spend more time on sport, like me, your koko here.

Answer 7

you probably should'nt go on the computer too much anyway

Answer 8

Yeah, I'm 13 too and my eyesight has always not been good (I have contacts). Though I've never had 20/20 vision I could tell that my eyesight got even worse after I started going on the computer all the time.

Answer 9

Yea, your eyes can get worse. Just take care of them, and take breaks from the computer every once in a while, and u should be fine!

P.S. i know this is dumb, but can u give a best answer- cause i need points! =] Please!
