Without spending 8-12+ hours a day staring at a screen, I probably wouldn't have needed glasses.

Far as we know currently, looking/staring at screens does not cause permanent damage to your vision.

Screen time is no worse than book time or sewing time or Wolfenstein time.

Concentrating reduces your blink rate. Reduced blinking dries out your eyes. That's the main detrimental effects.

I've been looking at screens for decades and I still have perfect vision

Yeah of course because the notion that observing something would damage your eyes is insane. It's like saying that looking at trees can damage your eyes because they're very big, madness.
