It is very unlikely that watching TV will cause damage to your eyes.
However, it will cause eyestrain which could lead to many other eye
related problems. Studies have found that children who played outside as
opposed to children who watched TV had better eye vision and did not
need corrective measures like glasses. Hence, sunlight could play an
important factor in early eye development.
- TV in the 50′s had high radiation levels which have been adequately corrected to not cause harm today.
- Watching TV in a dark room or watching TV excessively will lead to irritated and tired eyes which is a bad sign.
- Try to watch TV in a room which is adequately well-lit. If TV is
the only source of light in the room, it will cause considerable
eye strain because of the rapid changes in brightness.
- Do not watch TV for more than 2 hours a day.
- Looking at one object for a long period of time, makes the eye
muscles work harder to be able to focus better on that one object. The
natural rhythm of the eye is hence disturbed. Take a break every 30
minutes and stare at some distant object and blink constantly so as to
no dry your eyes.
- If you have excessive irritation and redness, use eye drops to keep the eye moist and reduce the strain on the eyes.
