If this is ture, does heavy computer use make the condition worse for those
of us who already have glaucoma?

If you read my post on this large Japanese study, I personally feel it
was a very poorly done study with questionable results. I don't
believe for one minute that heavy computer use causes glaucoma, or we
would be in the middle of an overwhelming epidemic in this country.
