Are you too near or too far, while watching television?

Hi! While watching television, how much distance you maintain between you and computer? Are you too close or too long? Both are harmful to eyes! Even if you are so, definitely don't allow your children to watch television at such a distance.

I can attest to that. For the past few years, I am accustomed to watching TV at a very near distance. This includes both TV and the PC's monitor. My average distance was 1 1/2 feet. I developed astigmatism and had to wear glasses to correct it. It did improve and removed the double vision I'm having. So, it is really not advisable to be as near as that. Oh, and I'm in front of the PC almost 16 hours a day.

A very motherly discussion indeed ! Ya, one should be really careful in maintaining a good enuf distance from the T.V., with 6-10 feet being ideal..
