EYE PROBLEMS ~ I BLAME NEOPETS!

Submitted by seanaf on Sun, 25/10/2009 - 1:02pm
Damn, I went to check in my eyes the other day and they've gotten worse, around 20/100. Now I need glasses *cry* Ever since I came back to neopets, 2 years ago, my eyes have been getting worse. I am guessing from hours of playing. It sucks seriously. :( :( How is it with your eyes?

I'm at like...20/30-20/40-ish haven't gone back to check in a while Neo is also the reason that my eyes are kinda bad, like I remember when I was 11, playing 2hrs of neo-games per day and that pretty much wrecked my vision now my eyes are actually really strong and I can play 3-4 hours with barely any further eye problems, my vision hasn't really gone down in the past year and a half or so but then again, I'm only 15 (or will be that in about 2 weeks --11/11 is my birthday :D) so my eyesight can still get worse :P On the bright side, my shop is coming along nicely XD

120/100 :-P But I haven't checked in a long time ... so maybe mine got worse, too. I hope not XD

I've played Neopets for over 4 years and my eyesight is still 20/20. I don't think it's Neopets. I'm leaning more towards heredity and genetics for your bad eyesight.

I'm on the computer fairly regularly. At least 5 hours each day, and some (rare) days it's over 50 hours straight (which is technically more than a day). Yes, I occasionally go to LANs where we play games for days on end with no sleep. I've got pretty good eyes. Last time I checked, I was 20/20. I may be just lucky.. but during the holidays, I tend to read a lot, and that reading happens on the computer. I typically get through 5 to 15 books in a few weeks. By the end of it, my eyesight isn't as good (never had it check during those times). But my eyesight gets better after some days rest. A lot of people I know complain about how computers are bad for the eyes, and I can't disagree.. it just doesn't affect me to the same degree. There's always the chance that the constant workout my eyes gets has a positive effect rather than the negative that people tend to think. Maybe when I'm really old (in my 30s now) I'll suffer more from my habits.

Thanks for the input guys. It seems some of you are lucky ducks. :P I just read this article about the 10/10/10 rule where you look at something 10m away for 10 sec every 10 min. It is supposed to stop the regression of your eyesight when reading or on the computer. Too bad I never hear about this earlier. :( ____________________________________ Looking for a new mall?
