Sure does... skip the TV, add a few more hours at the computer, and that’s the main reason I can’t see so good any more. Pay attention, boys and girls, you can get away with it for a while when you’re young, but it will come back and haunt you in time.

I dunno, I cant find my bifocals. Will read it later once I can get in focus.

Seriously, there must be some eye exercises that could be done to help minimize the damage? How about every now and then before you get .

Umm... it does.. seriously.

@dev_cw: great use of smileys...

Yeah actually I second what Susan says, it started a year ago for me, when I was 34... I now have to wear glasses and did some physical therapy for the eyes (sorry I don’t know the word in english...). Basically what hurts your eyes is you always look at something which is at the same distance and some muscles in you eye loose training.

One basic exercise is indeed to roll your eyes but another one is hold a pen in your hand, focus on it and get your hand closer and closer and reverse. Of course, getting some fresh air, taking breaks and exercise a little won’t hurt either
