Does prolonged screen time for 7+ hours for the past 5 years cause eye cancer or brain cancer?

Q: does prolonged screen time for 7+ hours for the past 5 years cause eye cancer or brain cancer?

: There is lack of objective evidence that screen time will cause any cancer. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
