That's exactly how I ended up with glasses over Christmas. I went to my optician because I got a nice little letter telling me it was time, and ended up with a very high prescription. He asked if I was doing a lot of reading and looking at the computer screen and then looked on askance as I laughed hollowly and told him I was an Eng Lit student.

Entertainingly, despite being short sighted, I have to wear glasses to read because of how far away I hold the books.

My eyes are doomed.
