Does watching videos on an electronic display damage your eyesight?
By that I mean, does it mess with your brain's ability to focus your eyes?

Many videos and images are low-quality, the clarity of areas of an image are not dependent upon our eyes because the entire display is pretty much the same distance from our eyes. As far as I know, avoiding any attempts at automatic focus/adjustment when viewing artificial depth of field effects has had no place in our evolution/development.

I suppose the same thing will work for any photo editing, digital art, or even video games?

my mom always said that I get square eyes from all the screen glaring, I lold back then.

now I can't focus on faces in a distance ortho my optician said I dont have an impairment.

Id say its the resolution of the hardware damaging not the resolution of the displayed content

fuck

I think the glare was always a red herring but my point here isn't so much about resolution as the human eye not being adapted to simply letting content be out of focus.

By resolution do you mean a low pixel density? My thoughts were that this only exacerbated the problem but wasn't necessarily the root of it.

I would imagine this would be more of a problem when you have a moving image (like a video or game) compared to a still image.

Please do correct me if I am mistaken.

In evolution of some brain centre it can have some meaning...

I feels like it, but I'm not sure.

I'm 23 and I have slight astigmatism. I have no way of knowing if it's related to spending half of my life starting at (bad) computer screens.

I guess the muscles designed to focus could suffer from issues and maybe the lens could deform slightly. But I'm just guessing.

woah dude is that like a tube of eggs? are those real eggs? How'd they do that?

Did they like separate the yolks from the whites and then like extrude them through a tube? Fuck I gotta know.
