Gadgets are devices that cannot be separated from our daily lives. From morning to evening it feels like you are missing something if you don't use your cell phone. However, do you know the dangers that lurk if you stare at a smartphone screen for a long time, especially when going to sleep?

The following is a review of the dangers of using a smartphone while lying down which can trigger blindness as reported in the Journal of Medicine.

There have been cases of temporary monocular blindness (one eye) due to looking at a smartphone while lying down. In this case, it was reported that there were two women aged 22 and 40 years who complained that they suddenly couldn't see in one eye for several months. Once these symptoms of blindness appear, it can last up to 15 minutes before their vision returns to normal.

Initially the medical team thought that the temporary blindness in one eye occurred due to other things, such as a mild stroke due to blockage of blood vessels in the brain. However, after all the medical tests, it was stated that the two women had no health problems.

Everything was answered after the doctor from Moorfield Eye Hospital in London, Gordon Plant, asked when the symptoms of temporary blindness occurred. Unexpectedly, both of them answered that blindness occurred when using a smartphone while lying down with one eye looking at the smartphone, while the other eye was covered with a pillow.

Activities like this force one eye to adapt to the bright screen of the smartphone, while the other eye is in 'darkness' or closed. Well, the team of doctors finally categorized these symptoms as temporary blindness due to smartphones

Fortunately, the team of doctors said that this blindness does not indicate a serious illness and can be avoided by looking at the smartphone with both eyes. Of course, it would be better if you don't use your smartphone too often while lying down.

That's the danger of using a smartphone while lying down, which can trigger blindness. Hopefully it's useful, guys and sis?!
