Answer 2

Your eyesight will probably get worse over the next couple of years no matter what you do.  Eyesight usually progressively gets worse throughtout your teens and will stabalize in your early twenties.  Make sure you keep getting regular eye exams to update your prescription and have your eye health checked.

Computer use can cause eyestrain and fatigue but does not change your eyesight.  Make sure you take breaks from looking at your screen and keep your eyes lubricated by blinking and using eye drops if needed.

2) Dont use an old CRT computer monitor (flat panel is good)

3) Dont glue urself too close :P
