  It depends. Using computer does not damage your eyes directly. But the excessive use of computer may bring harm to your health both eyes and body. Since you use computer more than 10 hours every day, you must pay attention to your health because you are in high risks of some eye problems such as dry eyes, tired eyes as well as other disease like periarthritis etc. So, you must take a regular break when you work with computer.

  If you have used the computer for more than 10 hours with little rest, there must be some damage to your eyes. One person should have a rest for the eyes after using the computer continuously for an hour. The screen of the computer should be adjusted to the suitable parameter. Or else, it may hurt your vision. You'd better set up the rest time during the long time work for the eyes.

  Yes, you are right, using the computer will damage your eyes. Whenever we read a book or use the computer for a long time, your eyes will be tired as the ciliary muscle contraction, which may lead to myopia. Computer blue light will stimulate the retinal cell and this kind of stimulation itself can cause visual cell apoptosis leading to decreased visual acuity, and also will make it easier to stimulate the eye fatigue. So you should have a good rest for avoiding use your eyes for a long time. At the same time, it is so important to prevent the blue light from shinning straight in your eyes in order to reduce blue light to damage your visual cell.

  The answer is right to some extent. There are five disadvantages of over-time using computer. First, the computer radiation will do harms to your eyes and induce some eye diseases like glaucoma, etc. Second, computer microwave like low-energy X-ray and ELF emission are easy to cause the disorder of human's central nervous system. In this situation, your eye may feel itchy and tired. Third, if you often use computer over-time, the frequent movement of eye and fingers will lead to heavy burden on your mind and physiology. Forth, it will lead to the net synthesis. Fifth, the toxic gases that computer eliminates may be bad for respiratory system. For these situations, control the time of using computers and never let the time more than 10 hours. Rest your eyes for 10-15 minutes per 2 hours. It's a good choice to look into the distant green trees and plants, which may help eye accommodation. Besides, massage round the eyes' chakra in turn or stick hot/cold compress on your eyes to relieve the eye stresses. Last, guarantee enough sleeps in night and try not to stay up. If your condition is allowed, try to eat fresh green vegetables and intake various kinds of vitamins.
