Growing up, most of us have heard our parents yell, 'Don’t sit too close to the TV, you will spoil your eyes!' However, is it true that sitting too close to the TV is harmful to your eyes?
GROWING up, most of us have heard our parents yell,"don’t sit too close to the TV, you will spoil your eyes!" at us. And some of the children who had been yelled at had grown up to eventually need glasses and believed their insolence was the cause.It looks like the idiot box is also an"innocent box".The concerns about sitting close to older TVs were primarily related to radiation exposure, but that is not an issue with newer television technology.
It is important to note, however, that watching TV, or any screen, from a close distance, may cause eye strain or temporary discomfort. However, these symptoms are usually temporary and can be relieved by giving your eyes regular breaks and practising good eye care habits.In reality, compared to adults, children can focus up close much better, without eye strain. This habit usually diminishes as they grow older.
