Comment: Re: SHK 19.0687 Blind Shakespeare
I could be wrong, but I am under the impression that the common notion
that one should not read in dim light as that could cause blindness fits
in the same category as not swimming directly after eating. If I am
wrong, I hope someone will enlighten me by explaining the mechanism by
which reading by poor light damages the globe, retina, optic nerve, etc.

Comment: Re: SHK 19.0687 Blind Shakespeare
Is there scientific evidence that writing by dim light causes blindness?
Couldn't Shakespeare have just...written bigger?
