My eyesight started to fail me in my early forties.
Up until then, it had always been spot on.
So what was the catalyst for my eyesight to suddenly start deteriorating? Well, it could have just been age, of course.
But, I firmly believe it was down to a change of job role: whereas I had been out and about doing stuff, I was now sitting in front of a computer screen for eight hours a day.
And that can’t be good.
That said, I’m still doing it now… and my eyes continue to deteriorate.
But, needs must.
I was in a meeting at work yesterday and I noticed that of the ten of us seated around the table, eight of us were wearing glasses.
I wonder if – as a nation – our eyesight is getting worse, as more and more people are spending more and more time staring at screens.
Our eyesight has not changed just the things we look at are smaller these days.
Oh, they’re smaller?
I thought everything was just further away.
Ironically, our mobile phone displays are getting bigger. Some say it’s because there’s so much p*rn around but I don’t know if that’s accurate.
I’ll look into it for you.
In our household all three of us wear glasses and most of the awake time is spent on screen.. a big problem in the making
