It's logical, but unfortunately not true. I've 20/20 vision after beeing a computer geek for 20 years and working daily (8+hours) staring at a computer screen programming for the last 10 years. So clearly computer screens don't cause myopia (although they might accelerate (or decelerate) it in combination with other factors).

Yeah same here. My friend wears glass and explained after he got his new prescription glasses that he could see in 20/20 again. We did a test because I was curious and I could still see much much better than him even with his new prescriptions. I've probably spent at least 8 hours every day for the last 15 years looking at a screen (often not in the best of light either) and my eye sight is great.

Agreed, programming professionally for 18 years: 20/15 vision
