Reading in dim light hurts our eyes


MYTH



Each and every one of us must have heard this just for once in life from parents, grandmother or anyone else when reading in a poorly lit room. Luckily for fans of reading by candlelight, the lack of suitable light does not cause any enduring effects for the eyesight. There can appear the eye fatigue or excessive desiccation of the eyeball bacause of limited incidence of blinking in dim light, indeed. Nevertheless, these afflictions are of short duration and dissapear as soon as we let our eyes relax. Despite appropriate testings which have been conducted, there are no prooves that reading in dim light can anywise affect the eyesight and cause irreparable changes in the structure of eyes leading to vision defect.
