Can high screen time affect LASIK results?

4 months ago

I am a software engineer and spend nearly 10 hours daily on a computer. Will LASIK results last if my screen time remains this high, or can my number come back due to eye strain?

Prolonged screen use does not reverse the correction from Lasik, but it can cause digital eye strain and dryness, which may blur vision temporarily. The results of LASIK are usually permanent if your number was stable before surgery. However, factors like natural aging of the eye or hormonal changes can still affect vision over time. Taking regular breaks, using artificial tears, and following the 20-20-20 rule can protect eye comfort and reduce strain-related blurriness.
