π Answer: MYTH!
Reading in dim light does not cause permanent damage to your eyes.

While it may lead to temporary eye strain, dryness, or fatigue, it won't harm your eyes long-term.
Your eyes may feel uncomfortable, but they recover once you rest them or return to proper lightning.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), reading in dim light is safe, though it can make your eyes work harder
- specially if you're already prone to refractive errors like myopia or astigmatism.
