You do understand that reading itself stresses your eyes....even just reading books. You can get eye fatigue, headaches and the like. But it doesn’t damage your eyes. You stop reading and your eyes feel better.

People are debating this issue as if we should or shouldn’t read on devices because “xyz health concern”....as if.....nearly the whole world hadn't ALREADY been staring at devices. We aren’t dealing with the unknown or what might happen.

If there were a general health risk to reading/staring at devices....we’d ALREADY have seen the results.
So, he never mentioned widespread blindness?
