Does Sitting Too Close To The T.V Damage Your Eyes?

No, sitting too close to the t.v doesn't damage your eye sight. This myth was started in 1967 when GE came out with a new model of a television, that gave off X-rays. GE fixed the problem by adding a lead glass shield to the t.v. It still can be harmful to the eyes, but it will only strain your eyes. However moms everywhere thought that t.vs were still harmful to sit too close to. - John Baskin
