A member asked:
Could your vision get worse by looking at a technology screen closely, or being on your phone often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I always tell my patients if there were an issue with computer screen use or cell phones, then I would open an office across the street from Microsoft and have plenty of business. But they have no more problems with their eyes than the general population.
