UNDER THE LIGHT

 

Reading a book under a dim light will not make a child's eye sight any worse--Parent's, don't worry too much. This reading habit under a low-wattage bulb will not bring in glasses to your child's eyes. However, continue not to encourage your children to read in dim-light with their eyes crinkled. Children tend to adopt habits and this might become a habit while reading books in bright light or in a classroom. 

The main factor that determines whether your child or you need glasses is Genetics. Reading when its a darker light may give your child or you a bit of headache or make your vision blurry, but there is no permanent damage. 

Parents, if your kids are asleep and you want to read a book by the bedside or read a story book for the kids during bedtime, and the low lighting is giving you trouble, try occasionally glancing up from whatever you're reading and looking into the distance so your eyes have a chance to refocus. This practice will help you when reading the Menu at a restaurant with dim-lighting.
