A member asked:
Is a dark room worse for your eyes then one that is lit with sunlight?

No: There is no difference with either light with respect to the health of your eyes. Sunlight , uv light can cause some changes in your eyes . Hence the importance of good uv blocking sun glasses.

No: It is easier to see when there is lots of light, but the amount of light does not affect the eyes.
