over the last 10 years of being on a computer for at least 10 hours a day my distance vision has been obliterated. i used to have 20/15 vision and now i have 20/50 vision.

I'm positive the screens are the issue. My toddler nieces stand a foot away from tvs and every time i see it i beg their parents to not let them subject their developing eyes to that.

How do you know it was computers and not just age in general?
IIRC there is no scientific consensus that computer usage causes near or far sightedness.
