I'm sorry to hear that your eyesight has been affected. It's important to take care of yourself, especially when spending long hours focusing on things like poker. Have you considered talking to an eye doctor about options that might help?

My eyesight has followed normal downward spiral, need bifocal glasses now. More trouble with distinguishing clubs from spades, diamonds from hearts.
If you have same problem, cut down on the multi-windows, small sizes. Stick to one screen, and maximize the text size.

My eyesight has deteriorated because I spend a lot of time at the computer. During the day I work, in the evening I sometimes play poker

During the year of my introduction to poker, my eyesight has deteriorated a little... How about you?
I've been playing poker for about 7 years. Every year my skills improve and my results improve accordingly. For me, poker is a hobby that brings me additional income, so I won't stop and will continue to move forward.

My eyesight started to deteriorate when I started reading a lot of books back when I was still in school. And it so happened that I used to read a lot at night with bad light from the lamp. But poker is not the cause of my not so good eyesight. :unsure:

when playing poker, you need to remember that this will not always be the case, I mean that luck is replaced by variance, as well as vice versa, after variance there will always be ups)) and if you take it in time, then your psyche will be fine))

You have to take care of your health too, because spending too much time on the PC really strains your eyesight.

I also feel the same since I play alone with my phone, but I think it's also because most of my family usually wear glasses

That's the least concerning to me for online poker . Anyway I spend most time online not in poker games , do not need to accuse poker for any eye sight problems that might Occur

I am using computer a lot, not just for poker / games.
Yes i notice a deterioration over time, but that's not entirely poker. It is cause of aging, lots of computer time etc...
