- bryanlarsen 12y agoUse your phone or do your schoolwork outside and your eyes will be fine.
- thaumasiotes 12y agoEh, that's not necessarily true. I've tried reading books outside and spent all my time squinting because the glare of the sun on the paper was so bright. It's why I love the grey screen of the original Kindle so much. Want to read it outside? You can do that without going blind! For my phone, though, I can barely see the image on screen if I'm holding it in sunlight. When I've used laptops outside they've had the same problem. LCD screens kind of need to be used in the dark.
- leoc 12y agoNo, apparently not. According to the Nature article http://www.nature.com/news/the-myopia-boom-1.17120 http://www.nature.com/news/the-myopia-boom-1.17120, close work has been ruled out as a major cause of myopia.
