So, everyone among us uses smartphones a lot for many purposes. But have you ever wondered do smartphones make our eyes worse?
Let's know,
The smartphone is the only one among all light sources at which we stare for prolonged periods and hold it too close to our eyes. Thus, it puts strain on our eyes.
Besides this, smartphones screen mostly emit blue light. Our eyes are built to absorb the harmful ultraviolet rays coming from the sun which protects the inner sensitive layer of eyes called retina.
But since they are not good at absorbing blue light emitted by our smartphones, it hits the retina and produces toxic substances which slowly begin to damage the retina. So, long term exposure to blue light might affect our vision.
However, to minimize the affect of blue light smartphone manufacturers have incorporated a feature called 'eye protection mode' or night shield, night vision, reading mode, etc. the feature is same but with different names in different devices.
Because of that mode the smartphones screens give off Warmer colours, which reduces the negative effects of the blue light. So, try to use your smartphone with that mode on.
