No. it won't mess up your eyes. However, it can indeed induce eye strain, which can make it much more difficult to concentrate on your homework or other adult tasks.

Sorry to bust momma's favorite excuse to get ya to shut off the t.v. and get moving - but medicine has known the truth about t.v. and eye strain for years!

Not true. This may strain your eyes a bit, but nothing will happen. HOWEVER, it is proven it is bad to sit close to the tv because of radiowaves. The tv produces radioactive waves that may cause dizziness or brain damage.

I know everyone is saying it is true, but I really don't think it is. Think of ALL of the little kids who sat close to the t.v. who can still see.

I have heard that this is a myth, but optometrists and doctors alike say no closer than 5 feet so you don't strain your eyes from watching.
