Can too much reading weaken your eyesight?

Thank you for the tip, people with good eyesight should take care of their eyes. I was born with Astigmatism so I have been wearing glasses since I can remember. The sad part about that is that it continues to worsen until I reach my adult age where it will stay still on a certain grade. My eyes are really bad without glasses, I wish that one day I could see without wearing them but I think that will just be a dream.

Thank you very much for the adverse.Yes, spending too much time in front of the computer effects the eye-sight. I have been wearing eye-glasses for many years now, since my college years. I noticed that my eye-sight was getting weak when I wasn't able to see the letters on the blackboard very clearly. That's where it started.

Yes , too much reading with poor lighting and long hour will weaken your eye. It is real bad for keeping your eye healthy. Don't ever do that often, unless you are prepare to damage your eye before the end of your life journey.

Too much reading has no bad effect on the eyesight.

Correct! We can also lessen the eyestrain by putting those radiation filtering devise in our laptops. Me, i think it's my reading glass in addition to the devise that keeps my eyes in check always.

I guess anything done excessively can be a disaster later. Reading doesn't weaken your eyesight, but improper reading techniques and environment can. Eye strain is the main concern in reading or watching or using the computer. Due to this, proper eye care and eye strain prevention is important if you don't want to lose your eyes. The best thing to do while on the computer is getting an eye friendly monitor for your computer and wearing anti glare glasses. Also, as you have mentioned, sufficient lighting is important while reading and avoid reading in moving vehicles. I do suggest also relaxing your eyes every now and then to prevent eye strain. closing it or doing naps is a great reliever for the eyes. Also looking at something green is a nice eye refresher. Enough sleep is always critical to help rest the eyes.

Everything should be done in limits, too much of anything is bad, On the same line, too much reading is bad too and it can have bad effects on health, for me, 5-6 hrs reading is good. and yes! good lighting is a need of good and healthy reading.

Yes, that is true. I have been using eyeglasses for I think 4 years or so. You should read or use your eyes on a well-lighted room/place. Learn to take a break if your reading/watching television for a long-time time. You can look at green objects specially plants to rest your eyes. You can also close and open your eyes repeatedly to "exercise" it. :)
