Sitting close to the
television can
damage children's
eyes.
True
False
False.
Children can focus
up close
without eye strain better than adults.
They often develop
the habit of holding
reading material
close to their eyes or
sitting right in
front of the television.
There
is no evidence that this damages
their eyes, and the
habit usually disappears
as children grow older. Children
with
nearsightedness (myopia) sometimes
sit close to the television in order to see the images more clearly.

True
False
False.
Carrots are
rich in Vitamin A, which is essential for sight, but many
other foods also
contain Vitamin A.

is necessary for
vision.
A
well-balanced diet, with or without
carrots, provides
all the Vitamin A
necessary for good
vision.
People with "weak" eyes should avoid reading fine print.
True
False
False.
There is a belief
that people with
"weak" eyes (people
who wear glasses)
will
"wear out" their eyes sooner if they
read fine
print or do a lot of detail work.
If
you compare your eyes to a camera,
you can see that
this idea is not true.
The camera will not
wear out sooner
just because it is
used to photograph
intricate detail.
You can use your eyes
without fear of
"wearing them out."

sight" may be
developing
cataracts.

read the newspaper
without their
glasses and think that their
eyesight is improving.
The
truth is they are becoming more
nearsighted, which
can be a sign of early cataract development. A cataract is a
gradual
clouding of the clear lens inside the eye.
A cataract must be
"ripe" before it
is removed.
True
False
False.
Surgeons once
believed that a
cataract had to be
"ripe" before it could
be removed. Now we
know this is not
necessary.
When
you are not able to see well enough to do the things you like to do,
you should
consider cataract surgery. Surgery is the only way to remove a cataract
Cataracts can be

True
False

by lasers.

lens must be removed surgically.
After
cataract surgery, a membrane
within the eye may
become cloudy.
