Reading

Yes, reading a book, newspaper, or anything up close can  make your vision permanently worse!

“Myopia” or nearsightedness (the inability to see distant objects  clearly) now affects more than 30% of the U.S. population.

The leading cause of its progression: “Near-Point  Stress” – a condition that’s highly preventable.

Although most of the time you don’t feel the damage being done,  I’m sure you’ve felt near point stress. It’s the pain and discomfort in your eyes after hours of reading,  studying, or any prolonged close vision activity.

The American Optometric Association defines the cause of nearsightedness as follows:

“There is also growing evidence that nearsightedness may be caused by the stress of too much close vision work.
It normally first occurs in school age children. Since the eye continues to grow during childhood,nearsightedness generally develops before age 20…”

-American Optometric Association

Here it is – plain as vanilla – the American Optometric Association telling you that too much close vision work causes over 30% of the U.S. population to wear glasses.

Think about everyone you know that wears glasses or contacts (for distance vision). These people very likely:

  • Are  educated (lots of studying = near point stress).
  • Have a job that requires a lot of time on the computer (another near point stress).
  • Or, may simply be intently focused individuals who engage themselves in a project, book, or video game for hours upon hours without ever looking up. (Any
    prolonged near point activity can cause near point stress).

Close vision work is now a part of our daily lives. We cannot  change that.

Some of us Church Organists are having a discussion about reading the music and seeing the choir and choir director.

This person has 3 ways of seeing:

1) Contact lenses for nearsightedness, and reading glasses for up close work.

2) Bifocals for when for when NOT wearing the contacts.  It is nearly impossible to see music on a piano or organ console with these.

3) A special pair of bifocals that have a bigger portion for reading close, with a smaller portion for the distance (at the top). This lets the person read the music, and look up and see the director.   You can get your glasses fitted for special distances! They can help make custom lenses for you.

An elderly player says that she now has the right contacts,  bifocals, that work o.k. but she is worried for the future.

When I first started wearing drugstore reading glasses, I told my choir director that I could see him or I could see my music, but not both!

I believe this is a big problem for who are starting to suffer from age related vision problems
