How does this fit in with Vista?
You may acquire slight short-sightedness if you spend a long time watching TV, a computer screen, a book, or anything similar from too close, and most people start to become long-sighted with age, but serious short-sightedness or early long-sightedness is wholly genetic.XxHogwartsHokagexX wrote: Wait, there are genes for near/far-sightedness?

For me, it was a combination. Too much books and screens, plus genes. And my family found out about my near-sightedness because I went to theopera, and it was Salome, which is incredibly boring, and to make things worse, I couldn't read the subtitles, and so my parents discovered I needed glasses. Now I have contact lenses, which I much prefer over normal glasses as the inconvenience of spending a few minutes to put them on and take them off each day is not that much of a hindrance compared with the added bonus of having a complete view without frames in the way.Sentynel wrote:You may acquire slight short-sightedness if you spend a long time watching TV, a computer screen, a book, or anything similar from too close, and most people start to become long-sighted with age, but serious short-sightedness or early long-sightedness is wholly genetic.XxHogwartsHokagexX wrote: Wait, there are genes for near/far-sightedness?
