Many people look at bed with one eye on their smartphone. The other eye is closed by the pillow. Doctors now warn that this can be dangerous. It would temporarily blind you.
They write that in the trade journal New England Journal of Medicine. The scientists followed two women aged 22 and 40. They had been temporarily suffering from blindness for months. All kinds of investigations did not provide a definitive answer. Until they visited an eye doctor Gordon Plant at a London eye hospital. He knew immediately that it was their habit to look at their phone with one eye in the dark. “One eye is used to the dark, while the other adapts to the bright light of the phone.”
It is similar to the glare that occurs when suddenly a bright light is directed at you, such as the flash of a camera. “It takes minutes to adjust one eye to the other. It is not a temporary blindness, but an adaptation of the eye to the light, “explains Plant. The solution? Simply look at your smartphone with two eyes. Or read a book. That is of course also possible.
