Recent studies have found that we only spend 3 hours on social media. These times are known to cause great damage to the eyes, even on computer screens, and phone screens are known to be more harmful. Phone screens invite myopia due to their smaller screens. It causes eye pain and muscle spasms due to long-term close focusing.
In the past, while it was observed that myopia eye disorder stopped around the age of 18, nowadays, eye disorder progressions are observed even in the 30s. Smartphones are suggested as the reason for this.
Long-term use of smartphones, especially in early childhood, causes early myopia and rapid progress. For this reason, our children should be taught the necessity of using mobile phones more beneficially, which we cannot completely avoid as technological developments.
It should not be forgotten that technology not only makes our life easier, but also threatens our health. For this reason, instead of looking at smartphones for long periods of time, the eyes should be rested if possible. And tablets or computers with larger screens should be used as much as possible.
In addition, long-term use of smartphones with a bright screen causes an increase in dry eye disorders and significant lens tolerance deterioration, especially in lens wearers. In this regard, lens manufacturer companies have lens production studies for today's technology.
