Are screen traders at risk of eyesight problems ?

when I was 17 my vision was 20/20
at 18, 20/25
at 19, after a year of trading, 20/80 in one eye, 20/200 in the other. My family does have bad vision, so I don't scientifically know that scalping orderbooks ruined my eye sight, but I do suspect that it did not help.

ofcourse!...some thing like computer eye syndrome
our bodies usually tell us when to stop, by givings us headaches, eye irritation, blurriness, etc. but if you keep staring at the monitor anyway and don't give enough time for the eye tissue to repair itself, then yes you get eyesight problems.
i sit in front of a window, and every few minutes i look at a longer distance, it helps a little. (but i do have glasses
- i was reading too much in college without proper sleep, oh well)

19.
I haven't gotten my eye sight checked in 3 months, but it doesn't seem worse... it's still probably around 20/80- 20/200, and I wear glasses half the time now.
I had mine down to appx 20/20 right and 20/15 left (I had PRK on my left eye back in 01 to meet vision standards for a particular military job field)...
Mine is pretty bad nowadays after being in front of a screen for the past 3 years or so between trading and working. Horrible. It really sucks. I am 26.
