  Perhaps you should be taking your own advice about sensitivity.  According
to my own unnamed source (I forget, my optometrist I believe) the notion that
reading is a cause of people wearing glasses is nonsense.  Urban mythology
if you prefer.  If you have a source for your statement and attack, please
name it.
