What are the consequesces of reading the laptop or phone or tv in the dark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eye strain: In dark conditions, the depth of field of the eye is reduced meaning more focusing work has to be done to read. This may cause some mild eye strain but cannot cause permanent damage.
