MYTH 1: Reading in dim light is harmful to your eyes. It does not harm your eyes to read in dim light. But good lighting can make it easier to see what you are reading and keep your eyes from tiring out more quickly. MYTH 2: Wearing eyeglasses will make you dependent on them. Using your glasses won't worsen your vision or lead to any eye disease. If you need glasses for distance or reading, it is important to use them to avoid straining your eyes and to ensure your best vision possible.   MYTH 3: Using phones can damage your eyes. Looking at your phone will not harm your eyes, but doing so without breaks can contribute to eye strain, tired eyes or dry eyes. Be sure to rest your eyes every 20 minutes by looking up or across the room. Blink regularly to keep your eyes well lubricated and use artificial tears to promote moisture. #myths #doctor #medical #eyedoctor #eyesight #mythbusters
