As possible = you can comfortably read

Reading small font text has not been shown to cause damage to the eyes (although you may experience eye strain from prolonged accommodation). However, long-duration near work has been found repeatedly to be associated with a greater risk of developing myopia or nearsightedness: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-14377-1
I’m a visual psychophysicist. We often recommend that people take breaks when doing near-work. The 20-20-20 rule: look at something that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Interesting! Do you set an alarm for every 20 mins?
So you do psychophysics?? Would you mind if i occasionally drew on you for limited questions or prompts for these type of similar inquiries?
Might be just a rumor / old wives tale, but I thought the small text on screens / pages up close, without breaks, resulted in poor vision?
It might be complicated by me possibly being nearsighted
