Q72 of 112 Page 311

Explain why, too little or too much light, both are bad for eyes.

In the presence of little light the iris has to dilate pupil to facilitate entry of more and more light to view things, which leads to strain on the eyes and causes headaches.

In case of too much light, the retina may get injured and damaged thus impairing vision.
