A member asked:
Can looking at an ipod hurt your vision. i have a degenerative eye disease and i'm afraid the ipod could decrease or lower my vision?

No: Viewing such electronic devices should have no effect on vision, unless you are prone to eye dryness, in which case you could supplement by applying some artificial tears to help the corneas stay moist and healthy.
