CAN PHONE USE AT NIGHT CAUSE BLINDNESS?

1

A Chinese man was diagnosed with a rare condition called retinal detachment. He could risk going blind after his retina detached from the back of his eye while he texted his girlfriend for hours in the dark.

The condition can lead to blindness if not treated promptly and doctors who diagnosed him with the condition took the man into surgery for an emergency operation to fix the problem.

This condition according to scientists is beginning to affect more young people and they blame it on the use of smartphones. This was a condition normally seen in people aged 50 – 70.

Retinal detachment happens when the thin lining at the back of a person’s eye begins to pull away from the blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients.

Maybe you should learn to sleep at night and avoid texting the love of your life so you can save your eyes to see their lovely face the next day. What do you think?
