Don’t Read While Lying Down
Although many people read while lying in bed, doing this too often can harm your eyes. You won’t lose your vision, says Raleigh Eye Center, but your eyes could be strained. Eyes are more used to looking down while focusing, not looking up. The strange angle forces the eyes to work harder.
Over time, reading while lying down strains the muscles around your eyes. This condition is called asthenopia, and it could give you headaches, blurry vision, or eye discomfort. If you read in bed, prop yourself up, or don’t read for long periods.
