Unfortunately, we forget to take care of the tiny spheres which bring colours to our life, yes the eyes, we care the least about them. The statement “NO TV, NO MOBILE, NO LAPTOP” may be irritating. You may be wondering if this article is an exhibit of narrow mindness . You may be even considering this article to be applicable only for Stone Age.
The point to be expressed is that whenever we use mobiles, laptop or watch
television for a very long time, the impact of the light from these electronic devices on eye is very high as explained by science. Moreover, when we use these electronic devices when the surrounding is dark or whenever it is used for a longer time, the number of times we blink reduces. This leads to the dryness of eyes because of reduced secretion of tears. This results in eye irritation, blurring of eyes , loss of vision, mental stress
We are supposed to do the following
- Wash face and eyes with cold water as soon as you wake up
- Reduce the time you spend on laptop, mobiles and electronic devices
- Please avoid sleepless nights. Please sleep by 10 pm
- The hormone MELATONIN is secreted only in complete darkness. This leads to issues such as migraine headache. The production of melatonin is gradually affected. This leads to various disorders
Techy Tips:
A mobile app “break free of cell phone addition” will help you reduce the time you
spend on phone.
Take care of those two tiny spheres, which helps you to see this earth.
