I spend my life on the computer. will this affect my eyes now or long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: Frequent computer use is fatiguing and commonly drying. But it would cause no change in the eyes or harm to the eyes. Otherwise Microsoft and Apple, for instance, would have an eye clinic on campus for their employees.
