A member asked:
Will your eye sight get worse if you make text sizes bigger, and stop reading the hard-to-read small text?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Eye sight in adults does not get worse with straining to read. However, this may cause headaches and visual discomfort. Get a good eye exam if you feel your vision is not what is should be. Good luck!
