Hi Spanky, it's me again!

No, looking at a screen all day cannot cause blindness. It can cause eye fatigue and drynes (you blink less whe you're staring for long periods, as you do when you're looking at the screen). To minimize this, use the '10/10' rule: For every 10 minutes of staring, look away at something else for 10 seconds. It refocuses your eyes, you blink (which moisturizes the lens), and it should minimize fatigue.

I'm glad you're beginning to listen to us, there are some very wise people here!
