Could long term computer usage be the reason for my bad eyesight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your eyesight and prescription will not be affected by overuse of your eyes by computer work. You can definitely develop eye fatigue and headaches from this, but there will be no long term damage from this.
