Default Vision

Hey Doc,

Is sitting at the computer makes your vision worse or is it just me? Does hormones involve in bad vision? I am 19 and ever since, my power keeps going up.

I sit at the computer all day. Does that play a factor?

When can it be stablized?-Thanks

Default Re: Vision

The only thing sitting at a computer does is dry the eyes because you tend to not blink as much as normal.

The visual acuity will probably stabilize now that you are nearly 20.
