Will watching tv,going on your computer in the dark...?

Question

and staring at the screen for long peroids of time dramatically ruin your eyesight? How much will it effect it?

Answer 1

I think it does. I am constantly on the computer and watching TV in the dark. It will certainly give you a headache if you do it too long.

My vision was a LITTLE bit bad when I was 5 but I hated glasses so for more than 10 years I refused to wear them. Just recently I started wearing them and I finally realized just how terrible my vision had gotten over the 20 years I've lived! It has gotten very bad and I am sure at least half of it is my fault from all the TV and computer.

Answer 2

You should not watch use your computer in a dark room without another light source. You will be straining your eye muscles, get headaches, and eventually may weaken your vision. Don't stare at the screen for more than several minutes at a time, glance away at an object of a greater distance to refocus your eyes and to blink and remoisturize your eyes. I have used computers for over 20 years and by doing this, I do not need glasses at all.
