TV Not Bad For Eyes
TV has become as much a part of
the American way of life as apple
pie. Many of as wonder if that is
altogether good or. on occasion,
whether it has any redeeming
values at all. Well, there is some
acceptable TV programming --
hard as it is to admit.
TV can teach you a foreign
language, how to cook, how to keep
physically fit; it keeps you up to
date on Wall Street and world
events; it entertains you -- and even
makes a convenient babysitter.
Because of its increasingly domi
nant role in our lives, most of us
have wondered if watching so much
TV is good for our eyes.
According to information con
tained in a booklet from the N.C.
Chapter of the National Society to
Prevent Blindness, you cannot
"wear out" vour eyes by watching
TV.
If your eyes are healthy, they can
withstand TV fatigue, provided the
picture is in clear focus, there is
correct lighting in the room, you
are sitting the right distance from
the screen and the set is positioned
correctly.
Naturally after many hours of
viewing your eyes may feel tired --
just as your legs feel tired after a
long walk. Give your eyes periodic
rest while watching TV.
TV does not cause eye defects.
Often a person with a minor eye
defect, such as a slight astigmatism
(a condition that allows light to
focus improperly on the retina of
the eyes) or near-sightedness, may
discover, after watching TV. that
he needs glasses.
However, he would have found
that he needed glasses if he had
started going to the movies every
night. The eye defect already
existed -- TV viewing just made
him aware of it.
The most common cause of "TV
headache" is an improperly ad
justed picture. When the picture is
blurred, "snowy" or vibrating, a
heavy work burden is placed on the
eyes.
The magic of TV is light. The
image you see on your screen is
composed of fairly intense, trans
mitted light.
Comfortable viewing depends on
the lighting you have in your TV
room. Yoj should always have
additional light in the viewing area.
Use soft, indirect lighting, make
sure that no light source is reflected
bv the screen toward your eyes.
The size of your TV room, the
way your furniture is arranged, as
well as your individual viewing
habits determine how far away you
sit from the TV screen. A good
general rule: Stay as far from your
TV screen as visual comfort per
mits.
Several years ago there was some
concern, and later confirmed by
HEWs, Bureau of Radiological
Health, over reports of excessive
X-ray being emitted from color TV
sets.
However, the Bjreau late in 1971
announced that controls and
standards instituted by the gov
ernment and by the industry have
made it possible to rescind previous
warnings. There has never been a
problem with black and white sets.
