I know this sounds odd, but I just want to know about this. I get to do lots of things in the dark, I feel comfortable being in the dark for some reason. My concern is, is it dangerous or perjudicial for my eyes? For my sight? Can I get short-sighted due to this? Thanks in advance! (link)

Hi. I love daylight but once the sun's set I really love darkness. I feel edgy in harsh or bright artificial/electric light. Don't like it at all. Soft lights and candles I love, just moonlight through the window when it's full or near full is just magical. I find darkness calm and restorative and beautiful. Far as I know doing things in low light is completely harmless. Far and near sightedness is caused by the lens focussing either short of or just behind the retina. Same as we focus a camera. I'm sure you can't 'make yourself' near or far sighted. Reading in poor light gives most people a headache. Very strong light can permanently damage your retina, by comparison. I've accidentally swung telephoto lenses right into the sun a couple of times. Wow! Feels like somone whacking you over the head and for a while all you see is a green blob. Never known darkness do anything like that! Remember electric light is very modern compared to man's history. We lived many thousands of years in the dark, between every sunset and sunrise in fact. Didn't hurt us then, did it?

Wow! Great answer!! Thanks, you're right, I guess its harmless, otherwise, I couldn't enjoy doing anything in the dark.
