Smartphones have become electronic devices that many can't live without anymore, but a new study makes a very clear connection between the acceleration of blindness and the screens of electronic devices, including smartphones. According to this study, the blue light emitted by the screens of electronic devices can generate the creation of a toxic molecule in the retina, causing macular degeneration, all in the case of prolonged use and exposure to blue light.
I focus on smartphones because most of us use them daily much more than a computer, or a laptop, in most cases, and this can accelerate the process of blindness, one that is incurable. The eyes cannot block the blue light that is emitted by the screens of electronic devices, and most of those who are affected at the moment are aged between 50 and 60 years, but this is also because they have been exposed to this type of light for a short time the light.
Smartphone screens accelerate the process of blindness
The blue light emitted by the screens of electronic devices can destroy the photosensitive cells at the level of the retina of the eyes, they cannot regenerate, and in the case of prolonged exposure, it can lead to blindness. According to researchers, blue light can kill many types of cells in the body, and those with weak immune systems are most easily affected by this type of light, which permanently affects their vision if they are exposed to blue light for long periods.
"Scientists say they have found how blue light from smartphones, laptops and other digital devices damages vision and can speed up blindness. Research by the University of Toledo in the US has revealed that prolonged exposure to blue light triggers poisonous molecules to be generated in the eye's light-sensitive cells that can cause macular degeneration."
The researchers recommend the use of sunglasses that block UV rays and blue light, when outside buildings and there is strong sun around them, but also to avoid using electronic devices close to the eyes, with the light turned off. Before you panic, you must remember that the greatest danger occurs when the screens are held close to the eyes, and there is not much light around you, in these situations the greatest harm is done.
