Cell phones have become an integral part of our lives.

With the advent of internet and smartphones, lives of people have moved on from computers and laptops to mobiles. They do everything from entertainment to shopping to banking and probably everything. This has led to one of the worst modern habits of using cellphones even when one is on the bed.

This habit of using cell phones in the bed at night has given rise to increasing number of cases of eyesight problems. Most of such problems have become common amongst the younger generation who thanks to wi-fi internet can use their phone even in the bathrooms. But most of time, they use the phones in their bed in total darkness and doctors have reported cases of people losing their eyesight for upto 15 minutes at a time. They proceeded to do many tests on two of the women, who suffered from this temporary blindness.

Most harm is done by the position in which the women used the phone on their beds. It involved them lying on the sides. This meant that one eye was focused on the phone, with its screen brightness on a high and the other eye being partially or fully blocked. This adapts one eye to the light of the phone and the other adapts to the darkness and when the phone is switched off, the brain is confused as to why one eye is adjusted for lightness and one eye is adjusted for darkness. One more issue is those modern LCD screens used in the phones emit a blue light that in the long run damages the retinas of the eye. Its severity grows tenfold when the phone is used in nighttime and doctors have said that prolonged exposure to this blue light can even cause cancer in the eyes.
