    I’m talking pitch blackness. My eye doc said turn off all lights, cover both eyes, open them, and try to focus as if you’re focusing on something in the distance.

    Seems like same level as staring into the abyss, just less existential dread

      I concede if that’s the case. If you’re saying that without active effort, looking at nothingness in leiu of looking at actual objects that demand focus has no detrimental effect on eyesight… forever… then I guess you’re right.

      I don’t believe it… the idea that you or anyone have described this absurd hypothetical scenario (which is fundamentally not at all the same as “reading by a campfire” by multiple dimensions) on your own accord to a medical doctor srltrikes me as ludicrous, but, it sounds like you do fundamentally understand the premise I’m laying out.

      But, if you actually did, and that was te actual response, then there is no rebuttal to be had, and I guess im just out to lunch on this one.
