Question:
How is using computers a lot bad for your eyes?
I know that you'll need to change glasses a lot then, but what are the other bad things of using computers a lot? Are there diseases that will happen?
Answers:
Visually speaking there are no diseases that can be caused by being on the computer too much. There is a possibilty of getting carpal tunnel but thats in your wrists.
Staring at the screen of a computer will not change your vision. It will cause computer vision syndrome. Symptoms include headaches, loss of focus, burning tired eyes and double/blurred vision. The only group that is at risk for permanent eye damage are young children because there vision is still developing. “Many pediatric computer vision eye doctors believe that heavy computer use among children puts them at risk for early myopia. They point to several recent studies as evidence that computers can have a negative impact on a child's vision”

Anyways I am guessing you’re not a young child so your vision will not get any worse from being on the computer/watching TV. Computer vision syndrome is not permanent when you experience it that just means your eyes need a break. every 20 minutes, focus the eyes on an object 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds. Also, the use of over-the-counter artificial tear solutions and computer glasses can reduce the effects of CVS.
