A member asked:
Will your eyes continue to get worse if you continue using the the computer even after you've become nearsighted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not related: There is no evidence that computer use increases nearsightedness. Nearsightedness continues to increase through the teen years and the middle twenties and then generally stops worsening. This is independent of outside influence although some work is being done on the relationship between sunlight, artificial light and the development of myopia. Keep tuned.
