Do You Believe: 1. You can save your sight by limiting use of your eyes?
2. You can damage your eyes by using them too much?
3. If you are legally blind, you have no vision?
4. Sitting close to the television will damage your eyes?
5. All vision can be corrected with the "right" glasses? |
Answers:
None of the statements is true,
yet many people cling to all or some of these beliefs.
- Not using the eyes does not protect them or prevent further damage.
- No. Using your eyes does no harm.
- Ninety percent of the "legally blind" have usable vision.
- Doctors agree that there is little danger in sitting as close as one foot to a television set in good operating condition - not even from radiation.
- More than 14 million Americans have less than normal vision, even with corrective glasses.
