- All artists who love to work in darkness will probably develop severe eye problems within the next 20 years.

uh i doubt that

[General Vivi]

I started the industry with pretty decent vision. One day I finally went on vacation (leaving my monitor behind) and got the surprise of my life... I can't see shit at a certain distance anymore.

[Thrik]

Yeah, my vision is much worse than it was when I started doing full-time computer work five years ago. Like, way worse — sometimes when I'm outside I literally just can't focus on things a little far away. Weirdly it's not like this all the time, and seems to be much worse after a day of working. I'm sure general ageing is related but I'm convinced focusing on tiny details on huge, bright screens in relatively darkened rooms is a big factor.

that's also called getting older

[Furyo]

"getting older" affects eyesight over decades, unless your eyes actually get "sick" and degenerate rapidly. Computers accelerate the process.

[Steppenwolf]

Eye sight getting worse due to bad light conditions has been debunked for a while. It's an urban legend parents tell their kids to stop them reading under the blanket when they were supposed to sleep.

edit: Furyo what you talk about is probably CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome) which is only temporarely and doesn't damage the eye.

[Thrik]

Yeah, CVS sounds a lot like what I experience.

[D3ads]

Holy shit...

Still when i took the 24" screen i had at work back home, after 10 minutes of utilisation in the dark I had tears rolling down my cheeks

This.

Also; using your eyes more makes them better since they are just regular muscles that should be kept in shape.

I bought it 60 euros at a sale at auction when they were liquidating the company, happy times

- During the liquidation of your company, don't forget to steal console dev kits before your ex bosses steal it for their next company

- on a clear day sunlight has a blueish tone and ambient light an orangish tone not the other way around as seen in many video games
