I start to get motion sickness if I do that for more than like 15 minutes so not really.

Though going fishing with my dad (riding in his truck to the lake) are the only recent occasions where Im a passenger for an extended period of time

it can give you a headache but nothing is bad for your eyes other than directly poking them or staring at the sun.

Reading is bad for your eyes, period. It doesnt matter if its in a moving vehicle or not. Looking at something close to your face for extended periods of time will eventually make you near sighted and need glasses. Looking away at something further away every few minutes can go a long way, though.

Yeah, probably average like 200k(likely more) words a week on my phone when I commuted a lot. My eyesight's stayed at the same nearsighted grade for over 10 years now though.

I used to, but now nobody ever shuts up so I have to talk instead. Never got sick or got a headache or anything.

I'm very rarely a passenger, but if I am I usually just close my eyes.

Nope. I'd rather listen to the radio, or sleep.

oh so you're sure that the percent of people who needed glasses was way lower before reading even became a thing? iirc a lot of scientists think there's no correlation

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

iirc many studies have been done that show no correlation. iirc most professionals think that hereditary is a stronger factor

I reflexively closed my eyes when I read above.
