I just want to check out what's everybody's eyesight condition after many years of internet browsing and hardcore gaming to see if my assumptions are correct .


[image loading]

Poll: How's your eyesight?
(Vote): Perfect
(Vote): Nearsighted
(Vote): Farsighted
(Vote): Bifocal

There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

Perfect after playing an average of 2 hours of games a day since I was 4. I am now 24.

Perfect. I do have some weird disease in my right eye, but my eyesight on my left is perfect ;D.
And yeah, I've probably played computer for 8 years, 2 hours a day average.

I think eyesight is totally genetic by the way. My sister has had horrible eyesight since she was about 5. She couldn't read clocks. My Dad and my Mom also have eyesight issues i.e. contacts and or glasses. I've just been blessed with perfect vision or maybe training my eye muscles with games has helped. Just kidding it's genetic.

Hm that's not the case in my family.
My mum and dad have perfect eyesight even now, and NO ONE in their family has a histoyr of wearing glasses (Except for old-age related). Yet me and my sister wear glasses (near sighter) T.T

Well so far the results are just as I expected half will be fine the other half will be nearsighted due to staring at the monitor for such a long time that their eyesight is fixated on that distance.
The other 2 will be a minority and btw if your vision is equally bad at both near and far distance that means you're using (or should be using) bifocals so just vote for that.

i'm nearsighted, but my father was too, so i don't blame the pc. but it's obvious that computer screes may ruin your eyesight, just like reading books can do as well. you'll look smarter with glasses tho! ^^

20/15 vision up until recently and now it's back to about 20/20.

It'll eventually degrade down to a point where I need to get myself LASIK, but that should still be several years away.

I've always wondered, if you're nearsighted and you were to spend as much time staring at something further away (for example watching tv at an average distance) as you did staring at the monitor which is almost impossible lol but in theory would your eyesight revert back to its old fixation or is it damaged forever?

20/20

but lately i've been seing dots sometimes when i'm looking at dazing at something or trying to concentrate on an image. I see this a lot when im biking and reading a paper. There's like a dot and when i look at it it falls off or moves towards the side so i cant see it anymore. Quite weird but i think/hope its going away.

My eyesight is perfect. Since I got computer (`98) I am spending at least 3 h in front of computer a day. Never had any problem with eyes. I just eat allot of carrot.

not necessarily, i've read about people who could revert their eyes back to normal doing some exercises with them (consistent and about a long period of time)
only worked with 'standard' near/farsight troubles though afair, and i've had a friend whith glasses who told me he'd rather stick to them than do those exercises for the time that would be necessary

i do not remember where exactly i read that, though, but if you're interested do an amazon search like 'cure for imperfect sight' or something like this

also in that time I had monitor who couldn`t support more than 60 Hz @ 1024x768. I played few years @ 60 Hz. And no problems. Now I play @ 100 Hz.

That's very interesting! I've done some searches about that on google but I've never found any useful info that could backup that theory. I'll check it out, thanks.
