Have you ever been in a dark-lit room for a long time looking at your mobile phone, watching Tik Tok, watching dramas, and watching movies?
Did you know that this is not only easy to make people look tired, but also easy to induce glaucoma?
So today, let's talk about the dangers of turning off the lights and playing with mobile phones for a long time
1. Dry eye syndrome
When people focus on their mobile phones for a long time, it is easy to unconsciously reduce the frequency of blinking, and tears cannot moisten the eyeballs in time, and there is a risk of suffering from dry eyes in the long run.
2. Glaucoma
Playing with mobile phones in the dark for a long time will force our pupils to dilate because they need to receive more light, which can easily cause increased intraocular pressure and insufficient blood supply to the eye, which in turn will cause glaucoma. Glaucoma is irreversible and can cause vision loss and visual field loss if left untimed**, and may even lead to blindness. Especially for people with high intraocular pressure or family inheritance, it is necessary to pay attention to eye health in time.
3. Macular degeneration
The macula itself is the area on the retina that is densely populated with photoreceptor cells and is the "core area" of our vision. The strong light of the electronic screen directly hits the fundus for a long time, which may cause damage to the non-renewable retinal photoreceptor cells, which greatly increases the chance of macular lesions in the fundus. Although this kind of damage may not be the first to manifest itself, it can add up and "erupt" in middle and old age.
Although the relationship between turning off the lights and playing with mobile phones and blindness is not completely corresponding, as a bad living habit, it is indeed easy to aggravate the possibility of the above-mentioned eye diseases.
To protect your eye health, it is recommended that you:
Avoid playing with your phone in the dark.
Use Night Light mode or reduce screen brightness.
Take a break every 20-30 minutes and look into the distance or close your eyes for a few minutes.
Maintain good sleep habits and avoid staying up late.
Have regular eye exams.
Every patient should be reminded that if they have symptoms such as blurred vision, distorted vision, dark shadows or flashes of light in front of their eyes, they should seek medical treatment in a professional ophthalmology hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition. Early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis, early **!
