Watching television up close does not hurt the eyes because the latest TV sets, launched from the 90s onwards, no longer emit radiation and therefore do not impair vision.
However, watching television with the light off can be harmful to eye health as the pupil ends up constantly having to adapt to different luminosities, which can lead to tired eyes, due to excessive stimulation.
It is much more harmful to the eyes to be staring at the sun or beams of light, which are used in discos and shows, and can even cause blindness in the long run.
What is the ideal distance to watch TV?
The ideal distance to watch TV should be calculated according to the size of the TV screen.
To do this, measure the length of the TV diagonally, from the lower left to the upper right, and multiply this number by 2.5 and then by 3.5. The range of results will be the ideal distance to watch TV comfortably.
This calculation is for both older and newer televisions, with flat screen, plasma or led. However, this distance can vary considerably from one person to another and what should be recommended is that it is comfortable to see the entire screen and be able to read the subtitles without any effort.
For people who use the phone more often, know what risks it can bring to health.
