Probably - if you accomodate (focus on near objects) too much you can actually give yourself myopia (or something, I can't remember what for sure). Perscriptions for eyeglasses apparently skyrocket around college age when all those freshmen suddenly start reading a whole lot more than they used to (esp. the fine print in those darn tome-like science text books).
