Is reading in a car bad for your eyes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Basically it is a matter of whether you can control the reflexes between the eyes and the balance mechanisms of the inner ear. For those who do this, reading is easy and not harmful. Those who cannot may get sleepy or nauseated. There is no harm to the eyes.

No: At worse, it can make you car sick, but it should not hurt your eyes.
