I went to the eye doctor, after years and years of procrastinating. I went primarily because my current glasses are really getting too old, and I could use new ones. I also figured that I may as well get my eyes checked up as well. Ofcourse with the increased use of a PC and staring at a computer monitor as the years went by, I assumed that my vision got even worse than before. To my pleasant surprise however, it looks like it hardly increased at all. The optometrist did say that my eyes were "drying up" and could need some eye drops once in a while. I asked him what could be causing that, and he just said "age." Really? Crap, another reminder that I'm getting old.
Speaking of which, with the increased need to be on a computer monitor this past decade, there's bound to be more and more people needing glasses or contact lenses at younger ages. Just think in the future, I'm sure the majority of the population is going to need eye correction in one form or another.

eh...video games and tv screens were enough to mess me up in elementary school. i know how significant computer monitors are in messing up the kiddies' vision when most *fun* things online require them to be 13+ anyways.
