I wear glasses. I did old school photography as a module throughout university. Multiple times a week I was in a dark room under red lights for a couple of hours at a time. I remember the first few weeks my eyes muscles were extremely fatigued because of it. However during those few years even though my time in front of a computer screen went way up my vision did not deteriorate as expected by my optometrist.

When I switched to digital cameras and was no longer in the darkroom then my deterioration was back on track.

I've alway wondered if the darkroom was a positive thing for my eyesight...
