Reading in dim light bad for eye

[annoymage]

here's the idea, i prefer to read in dim light because I'm suffering from migraine, but like 90% people around me keep telling that it will cause bad health in eye, but when i need the proves, they proofs nothing.

So, maybe, i need to debunk this "old wives tales", and need some evidence.

Well first,

i've read many article saying it will never make your eye sick for long term effect

http://health.howstuffworks.com/human-nature/health-myths/reading-in-dim-light.htm

and i can't find any article proving that it will make your eye sick.

Don't know about reading but watching T.V. in the dark for long periods will make serious damage to your sight. Wether reading instead of watching T.V. would have the same affect I cannot tell. This is from my own experience.
