It's a widespread myth that sitting in front of a computer screen too long causes poor vision, or astigmatism..those things are usually genetic. It can certainly cause eye strain and discomfort, but it should not permanently damage your vision at all. In other words it won't make someone whose 20/20 become near or far sighted or develop astigmatism. They would have developed that anyway.

It's possible that your eye problems have a different underlying cause, and not due to your phone screen. The double vision thing, your doctor is probably right that it was already there and the eye strain could be exasperating that.
Hmm interesting... I may have to research this.
Hard to believe that I could have some problem my whole life without it showing and no docs noticing it, then an iPhone bringing it out.
Got a fun-filled week of doc appointments and tooth-pulling coming up. I'm psyched.
