How Screens Affect Eyes

Ophthalmologist Igor Aznauryan explained that there is no scientific evidence that radiation from smartphones directly harms the eyes. However, prolonged reading at close range, small text, glare, and poor lighting can cause digital eye strain, with symptoms such as headaches, burning eyes, and blurred vision. He advised holding the phone 35 to 40 centimeters away, enlarging the text and adjusting the brightness, and following the 20-20-20 rule. He also recommended avoiding reading in the dark or while lying down. Double vision or difficulty focusing should prompt a visit to an ophthalmologist. He recommended a comprehensive eye exam every year, noting that myopia may be treated with glasses, contact lenses, or orthokeratology lenses.
