That sucks. Hopefully we can grow new eyes from stem cells before this really affects me.

Help me out here, short-sighted means that you have troubles with close view, like reading books. Or does it mean that you can only see things that are near and have trouble watching tv, driving a car, .. . I think it's the first but i'm not sure.
Anyway, if it isn't close to my nose i barely see it.
Since i don't wear lenses, and often don't wear my glasses when going to a party, i always have a slightly blurred view. So i can't tell if i'm getting drunk and everything is getting hazy, since that's my starting vision. It's fun to live in a blurry world sometimes though.

whew, I freaked out when I read the title, but the increased risk for short-sighted thing is a relief. (I'm somwhere high up the chart...19/20 or something. But that'll be over soon if I keep on gaming this much. )
Hehehe...but why wait for it to happen? Pre-emptive curing!!

Thats right J, youre short sighted.
Short sighted = able to focus on objects better as they get closer. (down to Y).
Long sighted = able to focus on objects better as they get farther (up to X).

How about lenses a cm thick when they are the thin ones. Unfortunately I have reeaall bad eyesight being very shortsighted. Anyway, new shocker. Use of Laptops on knees causes infertility!

Well that's not so surprising, a (at least mine) laptop gives off heat, which can't be healthy if you put it on your legs.
That's why they invented tables
