We've all heard it: reading in dim light is bad for your eyes. But is it true, or is it a myth? Lisa, one of our listeners, asks us this question and Cheryl and Ryan do their best to get to the bottom of it, including learning a bit more about why pirates wear eye patches! It's never too late to learn about the world around you.  

This is a listener question!
