Even though there is a constant warning about using mobile phones with great brightness, there are a few people who love the brightness on the mobile, blame the screen.
The ‘blinding’ claim was recently realised by a 25-year-old woman who kept her screen in full brightness for two years. As a result, she now has 500 holes in her eyes.
Chen effectively burned up holes in her cornea after exposing her eyes to more than 600 lumens (level of brightness) every day for two years, said doctors who examined her. The recommended daily level of lumens is 300 and Chen was using her phone at almost twice the level.
Chen went to an eye specialist after experiencing pain in her eyes which eventually turned into a bloodshot. When doctors examined her eyes, they found her cornea was “congested with blood” and her eyesight was permanently damaged, reported The Sun.
Her right eye was worse than her left with 500 holes in the cornea.
According to eye experts, exposing our eyes to anything more than 600 lumens for just two hours can cause damage to the retina and the cornea. In some cases, it can even cause permanent blindness.
