How bad is your eyesight?
 

Do you think high exposure to computers or TV is part of the cause of your bad eyesight (if you have bad eyesight)? Feel free to discuss or post your eyesight.

I'll start it off. According to my contact lenses box, it claims my left is -5.75 and my right is -5.25. I know it's pretty bad xD. I'm sure part of the reason why is due to the fact that I was so addicted to the computer when I was little lol.

I'm bad at having bad eyesight (I have good eyesight). Always had 20/20 vision. Never needed glasses or contacts and I'm definitely in front of screens a lot of the time.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

Ditto.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

-4.50 and -3.75 I feel your pain.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

I have terrible eye sight, unfortunately :( I'm constantly squinting if I'm too far away in class. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it were all a result off too much exposure to TV/computers. Although I can generally see everything, I usually use my glasses for driving (particularly at night) and for reading things from really far away. My optometrist highly recommends I use my glasses everyday.

How often I use them, that's a different story lol.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

my eye sight has always been bad and my left is has always been getting progressively worse over the years. this is no fault of tv/computers but im sure it isnt helping

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

ugh... umm... I think the last I checked my eyes, I was -8 and -8? It actually might be worse than that, I haven't checked in years. But just to give an idea, I'm 7 feet away from a 21" CRT TV and if I take my glasses off, I see a blur.

Also, I checked my old contacts that aren't strong enough for my eyes anymore and those were -7.5. lol 3_3

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

oops~
-2.5 in both eyes...
This happened when I was a little kid I sat about a foot away from the TV..
OOPS~

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

I jizzed in my left eye. So I wonder what my eye sight is now...

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

I've sat in front of computer screens all day and night since I was about 7 years old, and I have 20/10 vision =/

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

-2.5 on each eye. sick

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

I have a floater in my right eye. might be macular degenitive diesease Who KnOwS

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

My vision is only bad when i look at things far away. When I'm close to something, i can see it perfectly.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

-6.5 both eyes. they finally matched up in the summer. I don't think the computer/tv has anything to do with it, as I've had glasses since 3rd grade.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

They call this nearsighted.

This.

I was just joking yesterday about how I was going to buy lasik eye surgery.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

oh yeah my PE teacher said this is what he used to do, not hardly wear them and only when he needed to. But guess what? When he did start wearing them everyday, his eyesight was back to normal in like 2 weeks. I hated him for that story though.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

Still have perfect eye sight and I sit in front of screens a ton. Your eyes probably get used to the abuse pretty quick.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

I believe mine is -2.50 or -2.75

been stable for the past few years because I've been swapping between my old, weak pair of glasses (at home) and new, strong pair (outside of home).

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

Yeah that is exactly the same for me. I have 20/20 Vision :D.

Re: How bad is your eyesight?
 

<- Glasses
Therefore I have poor eyesight, I cannot see within 8 feet in front of me, this is due to family traits, not the internet ^^
