does reading alot screw up your eyes?

i'm not sure if this is off topic, but i thought it would be helpful to ask this question to those who actually read, a lot.

i like to read a lot, but i don't do so as much as i want, because reading seems to mess up my eyesight. my vision gets super blurry after having finished a book. i don't want to wear thick ass glasses and ruin my eyesight any further.

any advice?

Well, that would explain why my eyesight is so bad. I used to see the print better without glasses because I'm "short-sighted" but I guess I'm getting more and more short-sighted because now I need my glaxorz for reading. I too have often pondered about the effect of reading on one's eyesight, especially when you're wearing glasses whilst. I always feel guilty reading with glasses because I can just FEEL my eyesight deteriorating as I concentrate on the small words through my thick lenses Or maybe I'm just paranoid. I'd consider getting laser eye surgery if my insurance covered it but I think it'd be too much of a shock to the system for me to have perfect vision.

i don't think it actually damages my eyes, but if i do a lot of reading (especially if it is something i really have to focus on, like required reading for uni) then my eyesight does get a little blurry and maybe i'll get a headache. i think it's just that they get tired. i try to take regular breaks.

if i spend a lot of time reading obsessively, afterward my eyes find it really difficult to focus.
but eventually they go back to normal.
