it is a myth that dim lighting negatively impacts eyesight long term.
- mh- 11mo agoThat depends entirely on what you're doing in that dim lighting. And how much time you spend in it. Spending all of your time in dim lighting is absolutely bad for your vision, or at least that is the contemporary consensus in optometry.

- semiinfinitely 11mo agoNo it does not depend on what you're doing (eg reading) in the poor lighting- that is precisely the myth.
- trymas 11mo agoAt least before you are grown up - that’s absolutely proven truth. Until you are an adult - you must get outside light (even if it’s overcast winter). On average - luminosity (I hope that’s the term) outside is orders of magnitude above indoors, even when it’s overcast. Kids without enough light have much bigger risk of shortsightedness. Because eyeball development is related to light. There was even an article about this on HN couple weeks ago.
