Does reading in the dark really worsen your eyesight?

No.

Do it all the time. How else do I read on the bus in the morning?

Isn't there sunlight in the morning?

What r u doing in a bus at 6am?

**A_Forever** · 07-10-2008, 05:51 PM

I'm not. I'm getting ready. Even by the time the bus is at the bus stop, during the school year, its still dark outside @_@ Heh.

&& I read in my room in the dark, lawl. My dad has to get new bulbs for my touch lamp ._.

EDIT: Shouldn't say during the school year...just winter :x Or spring. Whatever. I don't really care about that xD

Reading in a dimly-lit area will increase the strain on your eyes over time.

It increases the strain on your eyes. You may not notice it at the time, but eventually the strain will catch up to you as you get older. And by older, I do not mean 60s or 70s, just in time it will catch up to you.
