Can you become myopic from staring at computer screens?

whoops sorry nukeman, I actually meant to direct my comments at barbitu8. Teach me for skimming the posts too fast

no problem. From what I’ve read, myopia is not the same as short sightedness. Myopia is a particular type of short sightedness, caused by a long eyeball, as barbitu8 describes earlier. However, people do not agree as to whether it can be caused by environmental factors. I would argue that it can however, though genes may cause it, or control how bad it gets.
