Not likely: There is no evidence that working with computers all day will cause blindness or brain tumor. Take frequent breaks to minimize fatigue.

Computer use: Does not cause development of a brain tumor or blindness. It can cause eye strain or fatigue, but this can be helped by taking periodic breaks from your work.
