Is it possible to receive cancer, in your eyes, for being in the computer too long
Age: 16 Height: 5'11 Weight: 185 lbs
When I was young I was overweight, as I grew I lost it and maintained the average weight. Until I grew to twelve years of age, then I began to eat more junk food, and awful beverages that increase weight. I have gotten all vaccination shots and am perfectly healthy as I write this.
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. In general eye malignancies are very rare. The common eye cancer is Retinoblastoma. It is common in extremes of age, in less than 10 years and more than 60 years. The most common cause for this is genetic mutation. Retinoblastoma gene is responsible for this. So eye cancers are very rare and if at all occur, occur in susceptible individuals only. Since your age is 16 years, possibility of eye cancer due to excess computer work is very less. But this will certainly damage your eyes. So better to take intermittent rest in between computer work.
