Blind to the truth?

My mum says that if I read under the bedclothes using a torch (flashlight) I will damage my eyesight. I told her it's an urban myth, but am I right?

How do we know we see colours the same as others and what about other animals?

How do we know that I see red as you see red, or do we even know this at all? also how do we know the vision of other animals eg, if they see in coulour ect.

How do we know when someone is giving you eye contact?

This may seem like a rediculous question, but i have noticed that it is much easier to know when a person is looking into your eyes than it is to know if they are looking at another similarly sized object. How is it that we know when a person is giving you eye contact?
