Disadvantages of playing with the phone after turning off the lights

1. May cause damage to the eye surface. When you are using a mobile phone, too much attention will reduce the number of blinks per minute. In addition, the brightness of the mobile phone screen after turning off the light will stimulate the eyes, which will lead to a decrease in tear secretion and a change in tear composition. In more serious cases It may cause punctate shedding of your corneal epithelium. (The outermost layer of the human cornea) Once the stability of the tear film (a thin film formed by tear fluid) and the integrity of the corneal epithelium are damaged, dry eye will occur. The most common symptoms of dry eye are easy eye fatigue, foreign body sensation and dryness. Other symptoms include burning sensation, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, red jelly, etc....more severe cases may also have headaches. , Dizziness, neck, shoulder, waist and back pain, discomfort and other systemic symptoms.
 

2. May cause glaucoma. Looking at the phone for a long time in the dark may induce glaucoma. This is because the opening of the “tube” in the eyeball of potential glaucoma patients is inherently small. In the dark, the pupils will dilate and the surrounding iris will accumulate, which will cause the originally narrow tube opening to suddenly close, leading to the onset of glaucoma.

3. Disrupt normal work and rest time. When you are lying in bed and playing with your phone, for people with weaker self-control, the mobile phone is like a Pandora’s box, it will devour your sleep time bit by bit, thereby disrupting your normal work and rest. Lead to endocrine disorders and lack of sleep, making it difficult to concentrate when working and studying. It directly affects the efficiency of your work and study.

Some eye protection tips：

1. Regularly close your eyes to rest and apply a hot towel

As long as you feel tired, close your eyes and rest for two or three minutes. At the same time, you can use a clean hot towel to apply it to the eyes, which will play a certain role in hot compress. Thereby improving the blood circulation in the eyes, alleviating fatigue and discomfort.

2. Blink correctly and drip artificial tears. Every time you blink your eyes, a thin tear film will form on your eyes to keep your eyes moist. But what happens when we use our eyes frequently and continuously? At this time, many people will unconsciously reduce the number of blinks, which causes excessive tears to evaporate, causing dryness and fatigue in the eyes! Therefore, there is also a need for purposeful blinking training between work: close your eyes-silently count for 2 seconds-close tightly-silently count for 2 seconds-open your eyes every time you blink, it is more effective to close the upper and lower eyelids completely, and in order to increase the eyes It is also recommended to use some artificial tears without preservatives (a substitute that imitates the components of human tears) to ensure the moisture of the eyes.
