We don't debate this. We are sure of it. Many people I know that had 20-20 
vision or better into their mid 20s, needing glasses after working with
computers all day for a 3-6 years. Those that had previously worn glasses
found themselves needing still stronger pairs (me included) after years
of almost no change.

At least our corporate health plan helps pay for new specs. Some people
aren't so lucky.
