How to avoid glaucoma by playing with your phone before going to bed? Take this scientific "home remedy"

The habit of playing with mobile phone before going to bed

Almost all age groups

For many people

Turn off the lights, get in bed, turn on your phone

It is the most comfortable and relaxing time of the day

Little did they know

Such a "comfortable" behavior

But I unknowingly let my eyes work overtime

Long time in the dark

Staring at a computer or phone screen

In addition to causing myopia

It may also induce an irreversible

Blinding eye disease - glaucoma

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of diseases characterized by optic disc atrophy and depression, visual field loss and decreased vision. Pathological increase in intraocular pressure and insufficient blood supply to the optic nerve are the primary risk factors for the onset of glaucoma. It is generally manifested by narrowed visual field, blurred vision, headache and eye swelling.

Why does playing with mobile phones induce glaucoma?

There is a certain probability that playing with your phone when turning off the lights will induce glaucoma. However, playing with your phone when turning off the lights is not the cause of glaucoma, it is just a predisposing factor for glaucoma.

When the lights are turned off, the pupil dilates, which may cause aqueous humor circulation disorders in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye to a certain extent, causing intraocular pressure fluctuations or even increases. If the patient suffers from anterior segment anatomical abnormalities (shallow anterior chamber, narrow chamber angle), it will cause pupillary block and induce an acute attack of glaucoma.

Mobile phones are so exciting, how can you resist watching them?

Since it is difficult for everyone to leave their phones

The following is a "Healthy Guide for Using Mobile Phones "

Welcome to use scientifically

01

Avoid prolonged use

The mobile phone should not be used for more than 15 minutes at a time, and continuous eye use should not exceed 40 minutes. Take a 10-minute break after each use, close your eyes and turn your eyes. Do not use the phone for more than 1 hour before going to bed to avoid causing visual fatigue and ciliary body tension.

02

Select Night Mode

When playing with your mobile phone before going to bed, you can adjust it to night mode to make the screen brightness moderate, the clarity good, and the font size appropriately enlarged; tilt the phone downward about 45° to avoid direct blue light into the eyes and reduce damage.

03

Keep low light source lighting

In a relatively dark environment, people's pupils will dilate, which can easily cause eye fatigue and induce glaucoma. It is better to leave a small light on.

04

Don't lie on your side and play with your phone

Lying on your back while watching mobile phone has relatively little impact on your health. It not only prevents your hands from being sore and your neck from being painful, but also does not put pressure on one eye. Relatively speaking, the damage is relatively small. Avoid lying on your side or stomach while playing with your mobile phone.

Wu Zuohong, director of the glaucoma department at Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital , stressed that because the visual impairment caused by glaucoma is irreversible, early prevention, early detection and early treatment are particularly important. If you find symptoms such as eye swelling, eye pain, acute vision loss, unexplained migraine, nausea, etc., you should seek medical attention in time.

My friends, promise me, starting tonight, we will no longer lie on our sides with the lights off and play with our phones!
