Hello,
My first contacts were -1.25 for both eyes. That was almost 2 years ago. Since 1 year, I have -1.50 for both eyes and it's looking that I get another upgrade this year.

I thought that a negative correction for your eyes would get better as one gets old. From what I've seen here is that it only gets worse.. As long I can have contacs instead of jar-glasses it's ok with me

I have got +0.5 on the right eye and +2.5 on the left. I've got a + number so I guess I am different from the rest

I've been wearing glasses for nearly 9 years now, but I've been using computers on and off since late 1980, so I'm not convinced that there's any correlation.
I'm perfectly capable of reading without glasses, without any apparent eye-strain since I can do it for 2 hours at a time in the bath, but I can't use a computer without glasses for any length of time.
All the best

I have been working full time with computers for the last 25 years without any types of problems with my eyes. I have been lucky so far in that the only problem that people told me I should get my eyes checked for, turned out to be an allergy to dust. The eye doctor said that I had 20/20 vision.
It was once beleived by many that TV would ruin your eyes. I still have those 20 hour days in front of the monitor. The one improvement that I have had lately is that I have switched to using an LCD Monitor.
An Observation
I beleive that vision that are effected by the strain of too much monitor use, is an indication of an existing prediliction of deteriorating vision, usually brought on by age, that is exacerbated by the strain. So if your parents ended up having to wear glasses as they got older, you may be at risk that too much eye strain from monitor use may lead to an earlier need for glasses.
This is an observation just an observation without any scientific backing that I know of. So good luck to all.

I can see about 6 inches infront of my face, and i'm only 16 - and it wasn't caused by computers. I've had bad eyes since i was born, the only good thing is when my parents complain about me programming too much and that it will damage my eyes i can say 'but they were already like that'  .

I first needed glasses more than 11 years before the Apple II was introduced!

Ditto. Mine were all the time in 1968. Prior to long term time on a CRT.

Have you been an idiot all your life, or have you recently had a lobotomy?
Just an off night, I assume...
This is as relevant a question as any relating to carpal tunnel syndrome. Staring all day at a CRT has definite negative effects on vision, and it's an issue that we all have to deal with. How we deal with it is valid to ask, as our options are often limited, and it's good to know what has worked for others.
Dude, I've seen you post better... get off the high horse and back on your usual track! You're smarter than this...

Not those of us who work on LCDs all day. 
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." - Jörgen Sigvardsson

There is a Suggest a Survey link on the survey pages. Maybe you need glasses eh
Many people have submitted survey questions over the months and years and Chris has used them.

I had missed your original response before it got nuked, but after reviewing some of your past posts, you are one angry dude. Why be so negative? How about refraining from spilling your negativity on those of us trying to get a little enjoyment from a survey that definitely affects most of us. Much appreciated.
