How Phone Screens Damage Our Eyes (And HOW TO BE SAFE)

Retina Damage from Electronic Devices

Is your computer screen, cell phone or television damaging your vision? Retina damage – the light-sensitive tissue in the back of our eyes – isn’t just damaged by staring into the sun. Moderate light exposure from electronic devices may be causing you to go blind in ways even Stevie Wonder would warn against.

Macular Degeneration and Eye Fatigue

The Chesapeake Bay Waterman Study found that even fishermen who stared out over water reflecting the sun’s rays suffered macular degeneration – or damage to the retina. Even if light doesn’t have the intensity of sunlight, the brightness can cause our eyes to become fatigued as they are trying to adjust to the level of “sudden” illumination.

Photo-Oxidative Damage

Long-term exposure to sudden bright light from your cellphone or computer screen can damage your eyes. It’s got a fancy name – photo-oxidative damage – when light reacts with the retina to produce molecules that are reactive to the surrounding molecules in the eyes. All you need to know is that these sudden bright lights can be harmful to your eyes.

Protecting Your Vision

Little Stevie Wonder was a 12-year old musical prodigy without sight, but you needn’t join him by losing your own. Turn down the brightness of your cell phone or computer at night, or allow your eyes to adjust to light slowly. You’ll save your vision, and get to keep your illuminated genius, too.
