Moderate light exposure from electronic devices may be causing you to go blind in ways even Stevie Wonder would warn against.

Sure, you can be a visionary even without your eyesight, but why ruin it with the use of your cell phone and computer?

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.

But, 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.

How often have you reached for your cellphone in the middle of the night only to feel like you were literally being blinded by its brightness. This feeling wasn’t just a hunch. 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 – but all you need to know is that these sudden bright lights can be harmful to your eyes.

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.

if tv screens were really damaging your eye, you would be blind by now because you stare at your phone all day.

Little 4 year old me: *plays in the backyard with my dog energetically and happily for a few minutes*
Mom: Hun, you can't play outside.

The 2019 me: *stays on my phone all day being lazy, sad, and idiotic*
Mom: You'll never learn anything from your damn phone.


well guess what mom? I learned english through my phone's help. Who's laughing now?

[sergiudruga]

Great video, guys! Can you please turn down the effect volume a tad bit in the next one, because it is rather distracting from the voice of the narrator.

(laughs in 0% brightness, dark mode and night shield)

[fraisebee]

I always keep the brightness on the lowest setting, sometimes lower with an app if I need to.
Everyone always asks why my screen is so dark.

[rinn]

*Silently turning on Eye Comfort, Night Mode, Low Brightness*

[sleep_isoverrated]

[mvpm]

does our eye get damaged when we go on using the phone on day time for long?

[DRAINGNGKITTY]

I'm going to wear glasses playing on my computer and phone xD

[otiebrown]

An excellent topic.
Include the idea that a minus lens also "ruins the eyes".
Refractive STATE of the fundamental, or normal eye.
