Well, NIH posts some supporting evidence here (https://nei.nih.gov/health/errors/myopia https://nei.nih.gov/health/errors/myopia), but they seem pretty constrained to people within a critical opthalmic development window. > I leave it to you to find them on your own via google. Considering you made the assertion, is it really a stretch to do the heavy lifting yourself? For all you know, the person who asked for your specific insight ("What leads you to believe this?") tried and failed to find anything within the software engineering realm which could account for an increase in eye issues. The closest I could find among the links you provided are: > People who do an excessive amount of near-vision work may experience a false or "pseudo" myopia. Their blurred distance vision is caused by overuse of the eyes' focusing mechanism. After long periods of near work, their eyes are unable to refocus to see clearly in the distance. Clear distance vision usually returns after resting the eyes. However, constant visual stress may lead to a permanent reduction in distance vision over time. But no studies are referenced. I'm unable to find anything specifically, and I'm the second person asking you. It'd be neat to know what you read which specifically substantiated the long-term effects of near-space work on the eyes.
