I sometimes worry that before my life is over, my eyes will have fallen out of my head.
I sit for about 8 hours a day in front of a computer at work. I come home and use my computer for a few hours each night, as well as plopping down in front of the television to watch something or play something.
I don’t often stare out into the distance and focus on something far away.
My glasses, especially for my left eye are already somewhat strong and my eyes have been getting steadily worse my entire life, since elementary school. Although the deterioration seems to have slowed, I haven’t actively changed my habits to change the way I use my eyes.
If anything, my current job and hobbies make it worse. While at college, I still had opportunities to look across campus many times a day. Nowadays, I often only am outside for less than an hour each day.
Maybe it’ll have the opposite effect: perhaps in time, my eyes will become hardy, nigh invincible. I will be able to stop bullets will my irises and set things on fire by looking at them. Either that, or they’ll fall out.
