Can computer use cause deterioration of vision

    Hi

    I have found that the vision in my right eye has deteriorated (acuity is now
    6/18). My left eye seems to be OK (6/6). I have seen a couple of opticians
    who both came to the conclusion that it is a lazy eye that has always been
    like this. To me this makes no sense as I used to have 20/20 vision in both
    eyes ( I was in the British army, we needed acuity of 20/20 in the right eye
    to pass the medical).

    Since leaving the army 5 years ago I have worked in IT and consequently
    spend a fair amount of time in front of a computer. I was wondering if this
    could have contributed to the deterioration of my vision and if so can
    anything be done to improve the vision.

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated,

    Nick
