  myopia, the blurry vision we know as nearsightedness, is reaching epidemic proportions-it could overtake a third of the world's population by decade's end. But is the condition caused by the rise of computers and mobile devices that strain the world's eyes? It turns out that tech can cause nearsightedness.but not in the way you might think.scientists have long been on the hunt for the cause of myopia, which has been linked to higher education levels, genetics and book work over the years. But though researchers have been unable to find a link between specific computing or reading behaviors and myopia, says Dolpin, they did find a connection between eyesight and the amount of time spent indoors.As we spend more time indoors consuming technology, it appears that our susceptibility to myopia rises.
