BF2S Forums dO U HAVE GLASSES

Although radiation is emitted, don't forget to mention which type of radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is barely relevant in a general sense to what most think of when they hear radiation. And besides that, these CRT screens are undoubtedly shielded for whatever type of harmful light waves are produced, probably x-rays. What Tyferra brought up seems a bit more logical as a potential source of damage, if you can call it that. As a side note I wear contacts, all the time, and probably a year or two before I seriously began using computers with frequency. Otherwise we are talking about old-wives tales of kids getting cancer from microwaves.

Yes, staring at a computer screen day in, day out will earn you glasses as your vision will switch from Long to Short, and it will be harder to see at distance.
This is nothing against computers, the same thing happens if you read too much, or are into model making. Any overdose of short-visioned activity tends to do this.

sorry to inform you bro, but ive read a lot as a kid in poor light and played mad video games for the better part of 17 years now, yeah im 25, and i have 20-15 vision......... so either i have good genes, or im a genetic freak

So do what I do. Get a projector, and a big white sheet and pin it on your ceiling. The rest you can figure it out.

I have Navy Seal vision. I'm proud of my eyes.

I've been wearing glasses since I was in 1st grade.  Although, I've been using a computer since I was the age of 3.  I've played computer games ever since I've been able to walk and talk.  Now I wear contacts of course and my vision is 20/200.  That means I'm almost, if not already, legally blind by law.  Genetics also play a role in determining if you will develop vision problems.  My old man currently has just a little worse vision than me and there's a 30 year difference between us.  There's no way that genetics alone can make my vision as bad is it is at my age, and I'm 17.  On average I play about 7 hours of gaming every day and by now if I had been playing only BF2, I'd prolly be one of the top 10.

I got lasik surgery b/c my eyesight was piss poor, now its much better, i'd still need one more operation to have perfect vision but i do not need glasses anymore!

I don't khave glasses. And I reckon playing on a PC is just an excuse for glasses, trying to stop kids playing them. all day everyday since i got my pc, been on it. before I had my pc, all day everyday (other then school and chores of coure) I would be on ithe ps2. before that it was the ps1. and even before that it was the super nintendo. and I have perfect vision. (last time I checked, whichwas about a year ago)

20/20, though because I am 14 I should give this a few more years come back and tell you all wether I'm legally or totally blind.

No I never wear glasses, no you don't need glasses when you stare at your screen, no it doesn't give you any advantage when you wear glasses.
