You coundn't possibly have thought, that I was serious about that - it was a JOKE. I could just as soon blame it on the phases of the moon.
Sorry, I just can't leave any readers with the impression that prolonged cataract use causes cataracts. It doesnn't. COMPUTER USE MAY CAUSE EYE STRAIN BUT NOTHING PERMANENT AND CERTAINLY NEVER CAUSES CATARACTS.

If anybody would have an effect due to staying on the computer too long and staring at the screen, it should be me. I have been doing this professionally for 20 years 8 hours a day some times 10 or 12 and never had your symptoms - of course I could always blame my cataracts on this.
Thanks, I've alrdy been off since I posted, just came on to check it.
I was concidering just coming back on again though, because nothing's been changing, but now that I know it's your opinion too I will stay off.
Thanks again
:)
Give your computer a long rest and see if you symptoms clear up after a week off line. If you problems continue, and you've had a normal exam by a ophthalmologist, consider seeing a neurologist.
