<p>It's true for me. :)</p>

<p>Btw, eye exercises really help (at least for me).</p>

<p>-4.00 and -3.5 (contacts)</p>

<p>It started from -0.5 in 6th grade.I used to watch TV and read books while lying down on my sides. And I used to read books in the car and in the sunlight.
But i'm getting lasik as soon as I turn 20 or something.</p>

<p>Actually, anyone see Dr. Know on Discovery Health? He did an episode that proved that staring at TVs and computers CAN NOT cause eye damage; however listening to extremely loud music CAN cause ear damage.</p>

12

<p>yeah i saw that too. lol</p>

13

<p>i'm 20/20 :D</p>

<p>i once knew a kid who was -9.5 and -9.25 D.</p>

15

<p>-4.5 in both eyes.</p>

<p>i'm -6.5 in one eye and blind in the other, plus i have astigmatism.</p>

<p>Thank god for contacts or i would be wearing bifocals...</p>

<p>hrm...</p>

<p>I'm not sure,</p>

<p>but that E at the top was gone a long time ago.</p>

<p>And yes,
reading in the dark,
in my case, to the light of a single one-watt nightlight, twelve feet away, for some hours every night,
can indeed,
beyond reason,
damage vision.</p>

<p>I used to have 20/12 or better.</p>

<p>Pathetic, actually : )</p>

<p>My "E" was gone a long time ago too, for my right eye! My eyes are very disparate, with the left being -1.25 and the right -4.25. Dunno why!</p>
