Expert Q&A

From the perspective of resolution and brightness, the larger the phone, the larger the screen, and the brighter it will be, which may not be too laborious when looking at the phone, which may be helpful for alleviating eye fatigue. However, in general, mobile phone eye protection is a false proposition, and it is still necessary to reduce the time and intensity of close eye use as much as possible.

The machine does not leave your hand?Beware of these dangers coming your way!

1. Excessive use of mobile phones can easily lead to dry eyes.

Under normal conditions, our eyes will blink about 15 times a minute, but if we keep staring at something, we may only blink 5 times a minute, and as the number of blinks decreases, tears will also evaporate more easily. Flickering electronic screens can directly reduce the frequency of blinking, which can lead to dry eyes.

2. Lying down and playing with the mobile phone can easily lead to an increase in intraocular pressure.

When we are lying down and playing with our mobile phone, if the distance between the mobile phone screen and our eyes is too low, the eye muscles will be highly tense, and it is more likely to produce visual fatigue. As a result, the intraocular pressure increases, and symptoms such as swollen and painful eyes, blurred vision, dizziness and brain swelling occur.

3. Lying on your side and looking at your mobile phone can easily lead to an increase in myopia.

When lying on our side, our eyes will be uneven, which will lead to inconsistent vision between the left and right eyes over time. Adults lying on their sides for a long time playing with their mobile phones can also cause ciliary muscle spasm, causing short-term deepening of power.

4. Playing with a mobile phone before going to bed can easily lead to insomnia.

Playing with your phone before bed will not only take up time for normal sleep, resulting in less sleep time. At the same time, the blue light emitted by the mobile phone screen can also affect the secretion of melatonin, resulting in difficulty falling asleep or poor sleep quality.

5. Turning off the lights and playing with your mobile phone causes glaucoma.

Using our eyes in dim light will cause the pupils to dilate for a long time, block the circulation of fluid in the eye, damage our eyes, and easily lead to eye diseases such as glaucoma.

Troubled by eyes, many people have "figured out" a set of eye care methods, such as: turning the screen green, using eye drops regularly, and even using eye wash.

But what experts tell you is that all three of the above methods are ineffective!

How to protect your eyes when you are in front of your phone all day long?These methods work best!

1. Make the font of the mobile phone larger and increase the distance between the eyes appropriately.

2. Look at your phone for 30 minutes, be sure to shift your gaze, close your eyes or look into the distance.

3. Play with your mobile phone in the dark, turn on the light, avoid the large contrast between the screen and the dark environment, and continue to irritate the eyesTurn to night mode and use cool tones to reduce eye strain.

People with high mental and psychological pressure, frequent and drastic changes in negative emotions, and are not good at controlling emotions, may cause large fluctuations in intraocular pressure, and even optic nerve ischemia and hypoxia, thereby inducing glaucoma.

4. If you have to play with your mobile phone on the bed, lying on your back will cause the least damage, and you can support it with quilts and pillows under your elbows.
