WHAT DOES A MOBILE PHONE DO TO YOUR EYES?

The mobile phone is an indispensable object for everyday life. But the truth is that this device can damage your relationship with other people and your eyes. In addition to interfering with your school performance, prolonged exposure to the screen of your phone or smartphone contributes to the development of various eye diseases, such as myopia, which forces you to squint to see what is far away.  

SYMPTOMS TO KEEP IN MIND

When you spend a lot of time looking at your phone, the brain understands that the important thing is near vision, which gets better and better at the expense of distant vision.

Squinting is one of the most well-known symptoms. But there are other signs, such as eye rubbing, getting too close to television or screens in general, or when you are not interested in tasks that require visual effort, have light sensitivity, red eyes, or headaches.

To avoid problems with your eyes, use your mobile phone sparingly. It is crucial that you have time to play outdoors and socialise with your colleagues, friends and family, as such contact is essential for your development.
