What effect does staring have on your eyesight? Whenever I stare at glow-in-the-dark objects in the dark they glow but the longer I keep my eyes open for the more that fades until it becomes completely invisible. Despite this as soon as I blink I can see the object again, glowing as though nothing happened. Is it just my eyes or does staring affect my vision?
