Things That Could Make You Go Blind With Time by beautifulesther: 3:21pm On Aug 22, 2019


Have you ever wondered how life without your eyes could be? Terrible right? but what if you were doing things that can harm your eyesight,You will immediately stop doing those things and that is exactly what this post will address.
-The following should be avoided by all means if we want to live happily without losing our eyesight.

1. Staring at your smartphone all through the day
For all smartphone lovers who cannot do without scrolling through their phones throughout the day,please note that when you spend excessive time to read those tiny texts on the screen of your phone or computer, the rate at which your eyes blink decreases.When your blink rate starts to decrease, it also decreases the tear duct in your eyes produces less fluid. When the eyes slows down the rate of producing fluid, the eyes begin to feel dry and tired and this causes blurry vision. Researches are coming up with evidence that spending more more time on the screen might lead to irreversible damage of the retina.
I came across a very useful tip in this regard if your job involves spending longer time on a computer screen.It is the 20-20-20 rule What it means is that for every 20 minutes of screen time, shift your eyes to look at an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This will help your eyes relax well and will make them appear sharper than the eyes of someone who don’t adhere to this rule.
A word of caution is “Don’t spend too much time on your phone or computer screen.”
