A member asked:

Will intense computer work in the days after cataract surgery negatively impact my final vision? i feel i have lost slight distance acuity from this.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No effect: Computer use does not harm the eyes nor does it change eye power. It is fatiguing and drying but these are momentary and no permanent changes.

Dr Gabor and another doctor agreed
