Cat eyesight

Is there any problems if the cat sits too close to the TV screen when it is on? For humans if one is too close, overtime your eyes may go bad. Does this hold for cats?

not sure about cats but for people that is an old wives tale, a myth, something grandma would say to get us kids to mind.

Myths and old Wives tales about our eyes

As far as I know there's nothing wrong with it. My cats generally ignore the tv unless they're put right in front of it when somethings flying accross the screen, such as birds or hockey players. (My mother once had a cat who was a big fan of the Canadiens! lol)
