It is especially a problem for children younger than 17 because the eyes aren't fully developed yet. If you are older that that it's not that tragic but one should watch out of the window every 20 minutes and focus some remote items.

Obviously that has nothing to do with LCD displays but with the prolonged impact on short distance to the reading device (book, e-book, tablet, ...).

I suggest you don't insult other posters by claming they have a 'tin foil hat'. That's very rude.
When someone tells me that people will lose their eyes [sic], then I'm going to the closet to get my tin foil hat AND my Santa Claus hat.
