Does /g/ have eye strain, poor eyesight, or astigmatism from working with computers? Are they astigmatism exercises just a meme or can you train your eye muscles to focus better?
I'm putting in a package to become a Naval Pilot and am worried about the astigmatism in my right eye. It's not too horrible but bad enough to blur vision at distance
I was always under the impression that astigmatism is not caused or exacerbated by looking at computer screens. I've had several opticians tell me the same thing
What's wrong with wearing glasses?
t: was dignosed with huuge astigmatism several years before i even built my first computer.

no less than 20/40 correctable while an applicant, assuming correct ability to 20/20.
for flight officers (weps, radar, control officers) the standards are more lax. im just deathly afraid of any kind of DQ after working so hard
Eye strain. I get tired a lot faster now.
Fuck do I need glasses, I'm 25
No, not because of computers, but my eyesight is shit.
Excercises are not a meme, they did work for me, but they're hard as fuck, as in physically taxing, and my eyesight went bad again a couple of years after I stopped, so I'm assuming you need to keep doing them.
I was around ten or twelve years old, and I'd go to a clinic three times a week where they'd put some special glasses and make me read books, follow moving objects etc. My back would be wet with perspiration afterwards, but my eyesight did improve.
