Ever since I started working at a computer, my eyesight has been systematically deteriorating. At first I started with no glasses (ever since childhood I've been using them from time to time, my eyesight has never been perfect), year later I started wearing my glasses all the time. Half a year later I could barely walk because my eyesight got that much worse - there was no way I could drive a car - even a quick walk to the grocery store was desorienting. I got new, stronger glasses. A little bit over half a year later, at my check-ups for work, the ophtalmologist said that my glasses are already too weak, and it's gotten worse. I decided to chek that up with another doctor and she examined me properly - no sign of any eye conditions. I got stronger lenses, started taking vitamins (lutein, etc.) and I started regulary applying artifical tears. I's been fine, but now, after another half of a year, when I take off my glasses, I can see it got worse.
I need to go for a checkup with that last doctor (she was recommended to me; she's good) and see what I can do. I tried to cut down my screen time, my blood tests have never been this good (thanks to the vitamins), and yet. My fiancé told me that it might be reading that deteriorates my eyesight (it did so to many people in our families, who never even used the computer, so the only thing to blame is reading), so I will try to switch to audiobooks or ebooks. In the worst-case scenario, I will have to completely change my whole career path and do something requiring less screen time. 😱
