had the habit of “checking” each and a little bit of their cell phone, while he was lying down.
The researchers, led by the ophthalmologist Gordon Plant Hospital ΜοÏÏφιλντ of London, who made the relevant publication in the american medical journal New England Journal of Medicine, said that the two women complaining about how for recurrent episodes of transient loss of vision, which lasted up to 15 minutes and occurred in the evening or early in the morning.
Despite multiple medical examinations, the doctors couldn’t find a problem. But in the process realized that “guilty” was the smartphone. The women were in the habit to lie down side by side and to see through the darkness to the brightly lit screen of their mobile with one eye, while the other was covered by a pillow.
As he said the Plant, “this has as a consequence the a eye, looks at the phone, to adjust to the light, while the other eye adapts to the darkness, with the consequence that caused a transient loss of vision from the first eye, when closing the device, until and this the eye adapted to the dark.”
However, the blindness due to mobile is harmless and does not cause any permanent damage. The scientists stressed that when dealing with the cell phone in the dark, must have both eyes open. It remains however unclear how many “one-eyed” mobile users in the dark can get such a temporary loss of vision and whether such incidents are isolated.
