Get glasses through a lot of computer work?

Could it be that a lot of and frequent work on the computer and laptop weakens your eyes and you also need glasses (even at a young age)?

Ki

Yes, because the muscles that focus the eyes (forget name lol) no longer have to strain, because everything is always sharp on the screen, and regress

Gu

Yes, it can make you short-sighted. So take a break and look out more often

sl

You can also train eyes, it is important to take a break after 15-20 minutes, then nothing should happen.

Ji

Yeah and because it's just artificial light, which is generally very harmful to the retina.

In the insurance industry, 30 years ago it was already included in the framework collective agreement that the employer pays a subsidy for glasses, for screen work.

Pu

It is a matter of dispute. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Some say yes, some say no.

Ki

What is artificial light? And what is the difference to "natural" light?

Ji

Natural light comes from the sun and contains all the colors you can see in a rainbow. Not all colors are used in natural light and the ratio of colors is different.

Ki

And how is that more harmful? There are no other spectral colors, but isolated?

Ji

Our eyes are simply not used to this. However, the risk is not as high as the muscle regression.

Ki

Okay, thank you

No connection has ever been proven worldwide, between a lot of close-up work (PC and cell phone) and the development of ametropia. The origin is initially a question of genes. It is striking, however, that myopia has increased in adolescents in recent years. But the majority of young people do not get myopia, despite a PC and cell phone. However, it has been demonstrated that a daily stay of 2 hours outdoors can slow down the increase in myopia.
