BLINDNESS DUE TO MOBILE PHONE – Dr. Willie Ong gave some tips on how to avoid getting blind because of using mobile phones.
Undeniably, nowadays, one of the things that seem to be a “need” of most people is a mobile phone. It makes life easier most especially when it comes to communication, entertainment, and business.
However, too much of mobile phone usage is not good most especially for the eyes. The phone is a radiation-emitting device and radiation can even lead to a person losing his or her eyesight. Everyone should bear it in mind most especially the gamers and those who check on the social media for hours.
In a video, Dr. Willie Ong confirmed that blindness due to mobile phone use is possible. According to him, this new phenomenon is called “Transient Smartphone Blindness” or TSB. It refers to a “temporary monocular vision loss”.
One of the major causes of TSB is using a mobile phone in the dark or at night when the lights are already off. In the video, Dr. Willie Ong gave some tips on how to avoid blindness due to mobile phone use:
- Reduce the brightness of the screen of your mobile phone
- Do not gaze for very long at the screen
- Do not use your mobile phone in the dark
- Rest your eyes by looking at a faraway view or object
- Do not use your mobile phone for more than twenty(20) minutes straight
