    I know "prolonged screen use causes long-term damage to your vision" is something boomers like to tell kids but I'm pretty sure that was disproven.

      Never cradle your phone with your balls or the cell tower microwaves them

      I distinctly remember going to an eye doctor when I was like 12 and my mom asking if playing too many video games would ruin my vision, but the doctor said if anything it would make it better. I was extremely berdly-smug about that for several years.

      Anecdotally, my vision was fine (well it was half farsighted half normal, now I'm half farsighted half nearsighted) until i started heavily using a computer. Plus what really makes your vision worse is eye strain (i.e. muscles around your eye contracting for extended periods of time) changing the shape of your eyeball, would be weird for prolonged screen use not to do that.
