dangit

Answer 2

Definitely.  Use a screen filter and keep the right distance between your eyes and the monitor.  Give yourself frequent breaks.  This way,  you will not only refresh your eyes,  but also give your back a rest.

Answer 3

Yes, and TV. (playing wii, and stuff) That's how i got my blurry vision...I need glasses now. Im gonna maybe try contact lenses. Dont watch TV, or play on the computer anymore....Im warning u. Its much better not wearing glasses.=]

Answer 4

No that's a myth...the only thing it can cause is eye strain.  Your eyes change because of genetics or other heath problems.

Answer 5

No, it's a myth. What does happen is your eyes have to focus on a higher level of light than there used to so they get strained and they hurt and they will probly make things very blurry but rest close your eyes for a while and you'll be good as new. The only way to hurt your eyes is to shove things in them haha =]

Answer 6

If it is the only light in the room, yes.  Even watching TV. without a light on get harm your eyes.
