Reading in dim light is NOT harmful to your eyes (...though good lighting does make reading easier and can prevent eye fatigue.)

Wearing the wrong kind of eyeglasses does NOT damage your eyes. (...but children younger than 8 who need glasses should wear their own to prevent developing “lazy eye.”)

Learning disabilities are NOT caused by eye problems. (...though children who are having difficulties with school work should be checked to make sure they can see well.)

Eating carrots does NOT improve your vision. (...a well-balanced diet, with or without carrots, provides all the vitamin A necessary for good vision.)

Wearing eyeglasses will NOT cause you to become dependent on them. (...you will just get used to seeing clearly.)

Contact lenses do NOT prevent nearsightedness from getting worse. (...like glasses, they just allow you to see clearly.)
