A member asked:

I spend hours on the computer and watching t.v. can these things really cause a lazy eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Lazy eyes are a product of vision issues in infancy and young childhood. If you are simply saying the only issue is that one of your eyes turns out or in after prolonged computer use that is due to fatigue and not from the video screen.
