eye damages

if you are on the computer for really long hours, and you don't take any breaks at all or look around(like jut staring at one place at the screen) and you also squint your eyes when you can't see something on the screen , can your eye vision be damaged and if you this really often, can unexpected blindness just occur .

NO.  You would get tired, dry eyes and headaches and eyestrain, that's about it.
