Question: Is watching T.V (Television) bad for your eyes?
Answers:
Only if you sit too close - its the same with computors
Watching television is not bad for your eyes, it sure doesn't feel too comfortable to watch for long periods of time, but when does constantly using your muscles feel comfortable?
Sitting closer to the television doesn't worsen your eyes, it is usually a good indication that your not seeing as well, and this is where the 'myth' has sprung from.
Parents usually can tell when their children are having problems seeing the screen, or generally with vision, when they sit directly in front of it.

Amount of TV watching, whether you sit close or far and whether you do it in the dark or not has absolutely no effect on the eyes. That is all myth.
It's only bad if you're about a foot or less away.
