How does working under a microscope for long periods of time damage your eyes and vision?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Eye muscle fatigue: Because you are focusing on very specific near vision objects, you will tend to use very specific eye muscles. This can cause you to have problems focusing on objects that are further away. There is no permanent damage and your vision can be retrained.

No: You cannot injure your eyes or vision by using them to see. That 's why you have them.
