Nah, you won't go blind, but spending too much time staring at a screen could result in Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

Computer Vision Syndrome

This condition doesn't cause any long term damage & you can exercise your eyes by randomly staring at different objects at varying distances every once in a while to avoid straining them.

The worse that could occur is the weakening of a person's eyesight.
do u do dat?

How to Avoid Computer Eye Strain
By Laura Newcomer

Ever spent more than two consecutive hours looking at a computer screen? Us too. Computers can make us more productive, but the bad news is that too much screen time can also lead to something called computer vision syndrome (CVS). Recognizable as that tired, strained feeling your eyes get after a day in front of a computer screen, CVS affects some 64% to 90% of office workers.

The condition likely doesn’t cause permanent eye damage, but it can still affect computer users’ comfort. The most common symptoms of CVS include eye strain, redness, irritation or dryness, a burning feeling in the eyes, blurred or double vision after computer use, headaches and neck and shoulder pain.

Several factors increase the likelihood of CVS, including uncorrected vision problems, dry eyes, glares on the screen, poor lighting, poor posture and even the angle of themonitor. Another big factor is incorrect prescriptions: almost 71% of people reporting symptoms of CVS wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.

If computer screens are proving a pain in your eyes, here are some guidelines to help ease symptoms:

Have your eyes checked regularly. If you need a new or changed prescription but don’t have it, using a computer will be difficult, period.

Reposition the computer. The screen should be about an arm’s length away and positioned directly in front of your face, not off to the side. Position the monitor so its center is 4 to 8 in. below your eyes, which allows the neck to relax while you read and type.

Follow guidelines for good posture. It’ll reduce strain on the back, neck and shoulders.

Ensure proper lighting. Try the visor test to determine if current lighting is a problem: look at the monitor and cup your hands over your eyes like a baseball cap. If your eyes immediately feel better, then the lighting should be changed. Experiment with brighter and dimmer lighting, as well as the angle of the lights, to find what’s mostcomfortable for your eyes.

Reduce glare. Installing anti-glare filters on the monitor, adjusting window shades and changing the screen’s contrast and brightness can help reduce glare and reflections.

Blink frequently. It should prevent dry eyes. If that doesn’t work, consider using lubricating eye drops. Also make sure air vents aren’t blowing on your face (this can dry out the eyes), and use a humidifier if the room is super dry.

Take regular work breaks. Stand, stretch or just look off into the distance, away from the computer, every 15 minutes or so to give the eyes a break.

Clean the monitor regularly. Dust can decrease screen sharpness, making the eyes work harder.

Try computer glasses. Unlike everyday eye wear, they’re designed specifically for looking at computer screens.

Consider optometric vision therapy. Some computer users have issues with eye focusing or coordination that aren’t corrected by glasses or contacts. Vision therapy consists of doctor-prescribed activities designed to improve visual functioning (think of it as a workout for the eyes — though no guarantees as to calorie burn).

Thanks to Dr. Dominick Maino, professor of pediatics/binocular vision at the Illinois Eye Institute/Illinois College of Optometry, and Dr. Leonard Press, developmental optometrist at the Vision and Learning Center, for their help with this article.

hw do u do dat?? cuz i wanna b careful too:tongue:

Look around at different objects at varying distances quickly with a slight focus at every point of interest without repositioning your neck. You will immediately feel eye strain lessen.

I forgot to add that you should also look out your window or go outside if you feel too stressed out from staring at a screen.

Remember that natural light is by far the best suited for your eyes, but don't look directly at the sun either because that's dangerous for a variety of reasons such as damage to the photoreceptors.
