According to the WHO, more and more people are short-sighted because of long periods of time on their laptops, cell phones, TV, etc. Have you noticed that your eyes get worse from staring at screens for a long time?
For me, my eyes got worse before I felt like I was sitting in front of the screen for 12 hours every day, but I'm afraid that looking closely will contribute to this. But I'm sure that not only displays help to read books in exactly the same way, i.e. Everything you do for a long time in a short distance.
Sitting in front of the screen for over 25 years… I've had to wear glasses for 10 years because of myopia. So in my experience: yes!
I got myopic, but I don't know if it was the screen. In my free time, however, I always sit in front of it.
Yes anything in the vicinity is presumably harmful
It has not yet been scientifically proven, but there are enough speculations. It is actually striking that, especially in Asia, myopia is increasing sharply in adolescents.
Yes, it is due to the extreme rework in school
You certainly mean close work.
I've been nearsighted since elementary school. The nearsightedness is getting worse. I can already imagine that PC and cell phone have an influence.
