A member asked:

Computer text gets blurry once in a while. is this from bad vision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: The most common disturbance during sustained computer work is eye dryness. Try using a drop that is lubricating (not 'gets the red out'), when you experience that type of blur. If that doesn't work, then see your ophthalmologist to see if there is an eyeglass need.
