Can you go blind from a computer?

Staring at a computer does not cause blindness, but it can cause several eye problems such as eye strain, dry eyes, and headaches. Eye strain is related to how you use the computer, not the computer itself. There are steps you can take to prevent strain on your eyes, such as taking rests if you’re staring at a computer screen for a long time, adjusting your screen settings to reduce glare, and making sure there is enough light.
