You will weaken your vision if you spend a lot of time on TV
The second myth that is popular around the UK, is that if someone spends a lot of hours sitting in front of a screen for many hours will damage his vision. This is not even close to the truth, if your vision is already poor, sitting in front of a screen for a lot of hours doesn’t mean that your vision will worsen. But if you are feeling that you can’t see clearly, the best thing that you must do is visit an optician.
Laser eye surgery is dangerous.
Last but not least, there is a myth in the UK, that says that laser eye surgery is dangerous. Of course, that is completely a lie, if you have poor vision, you will make your life better by having laser eye surgery. It’s normal for some people to be scared and anxious about having laser eye surgery and make them think that it is an unsafe procedure, but it’s not at all.
