A phone screen is no more harmful than a computer monitor or a book. But under certain conditions, it can still ruin your eyesight. In the article we will tell you how to use a smartphone correctly and what characteristics will help maintain eye health.

How to keep your eyesight when using your smartphone: 5 safety rules

Why smartphones are bad for the eyes

Vision can deteriorate for the following reasons:


Long focus on a close subject

When the distance does not change for a long time, the lens is motionless in one position. Without training, it loses the ability to focus at other distances. Myopia develops, or, in scientific terms, myopia. Users of electronic or paper books may also face this problem. 


Blue color display 

The most harmful to the eyes is short-wavelength light - blue radiation. The beams are focused directly in front of the retina to produce a sharp image and are capable of destroying its receptors. In addition, they block the production of melatonin (sleep hormone). 


Low screen refresh rate

The refresh rate indicates how many times per second the screen is able to display a new frame. A low indicator causes discomfort for the user, affects the general well-being, eye fatigue and can provoke headaches.
