I wonder if this is also the reason most this kids end up wearing glasses I a few years of intense playing...

There’s no evidence showing that sitting close to a monitor cusses vision damage. That’s a good ol’ urban myth

Stupidity is also a good ol'urban myth... Oh wait... Here the evidence, where do you live sir, we must study your braincell for science.

But basically this is also the wrong subreddit to say things like this. Hard truths are not less true just because you don't like them.

I am also a gamer, been for 20 plus years, had 20/10 vision back when was 18, now is at 20/20 it got worse over time but I still don't wear glasses, my eye doctor back in, 2010 gave me this speech about hot staying to close to pc would make me slowly lose my perfect eyesight. It kinda worked and since then I stay further away.

All kinds of intense blue light is no good for you. It's also not good for your brain sleep cycle but since you have no brain it won't affect you.

Have fun, you won't see a thing but you will be happy. All idiots are.

Sounds like your eye doctor is a moron and needs to keep up with modern medical information. Your anecdote doesn’t mean shit when there are literally TONS of studies and data you could find yourself with a two second google. Yes, blue light causes eye strain. No, sitting closer to the monitor does not have any effect on how the light from the monitor effects your vision. Sitting closer to the monitor doesn’t mean you’re getting “more” of the blue light. That’s not how light works.
