According to Dr. Alok Ranjan, continuous use of mobile phone is harmful for the eyes. Despite being aware of these dangers, many people continue to spend too much time on their mobile phones. Users indulge in a variety of activities on their smartphones, from gaming to movie streaming, and in the process often ignore their health. The light emitted from mobile phones can be dangerous for the eyes and retina because it is not filtered by the cornea and lens. In this condition, many problems can occur like fatigue, itching and dryness in the eyes, blurred vision and headache.

According to experts, it has come to light that most of the users keep their smartphones at a distance of about 8 inches, which is harmful for the eyes. The closer you keep your mobile phone, the more harm it will cause to your eyes. In such a situation, the mobile phone should be kept at a distance of at least 12 inches or 30 centimeters from the face.
While continuously using the smartphone, it is important to blink from time to time. Blinking the eyelids from time to time will keep the eyes moist, which will prevent dryness and irritation in the eyes. Apart from this, blinking will also help in refocusing your eyes. It is also advised by experts to blink the eyelids about 10-12 times in 15 minutes.
