Does spending time on my phone/laptop/tv/etc. have a negative impact on my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at all: It's often said (at least in my country) that using the eyes too "hard" -- reading in dim light, watching TV or computer screens, etc -- can harm vision. It's an old wives' tale -- no truth to it at all. These things will not harm your eyes or your vistion in any way.
