> likely needing eye correction from all that reading Is reading actually proven to cause short sightedness? I read everything I could lay my hands on from the age of four. From age ten I read at at least two hundred pages a day until I was in my thirties. I still don't need glasses at the age of nearly sixty nine. I realize that this is only one data point but I also know a lot of people who do need glasses and most of them are not and never have been avid readers. But I spent a large amount of time out of doors tramping the fields, especially in the summer. I still do spend at least an hour out of doors every day.
