Just as science provides fairly conclusive evidence that tying your shoes is not a
direct cause of brain cancer, it also indicates clearly that eye-strain can be suffered while reading
any media to an extreme. Even scientists don't need a "smoking gun," as long as they have the gun, the bullet hole, and the remnants of the bullet.
Scientists and doctors have been providing ergonomic guidelines for reading (as well as many other activities) for years. They can hardly be held accountable when people don't take their guidelines to heart, and thereby suffer eye-strain.
