Cline, D; Hofstetter HW; Griffin JR (1997) - This is cited on many pages, was there a study to refute this claim ? Wikipedia also provides Links to the "Near-Work" hypothesis: myopiacausedbynearwork.blogspot.com/2014/05/… | |
| Jan 27, 2015 at 15:07 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | @Falco The problem with that logic is that it assumes that holding a book very close is bad for your eyes. And it likewise isn’t. It’s a shame that the reference I cite doesn’t go into more detail, but in fact this is already subsumed under the same explanation. Straining your eyes in general does not harm eyesight permanently. See the related question, which is linked above, at the top of the page. | |
| Jan 27, 2015 at 15:03 | comment | added | Falco | What about the following Logic: In lower lighting you will more likely hold the book closer to your eyes because it is harder to discern the letters. And holding the book very close while reading over longer periods is proposedly quite bad for your eyes? Corelation to near-sightedness ? | |
