Don't laugh. As a child, I heard more than once that reading 'in the dark' would hurt my eyes (in the sense of inflicting a lasting damage on the long term).

Only later I was assured by medical professionals that this is a myth.

I think the joke was that it's a saying as well that you could go blind from masturbating. It was a bit of a 'what the hell did I say just then, I mean from reading in the dark!'
