At first glance, there is nothing complicated about using a mobile device.

In fact, many people make gross mistakes.

As a result, vision deteriorates and other health problems appear.

What habits should you give up in order to avoid having to seek help from an ophthalmologist again?

Reluctance to clean the screen

And yet, you need to wipe the surface as often as possible. After all, stains on the screen increase the strain on the user's eyesight.

Using a Smartphone in the Dark

The habit of surfing the Internet at night is very dangerous for your eyesight.

There is a simple explanation: a bright screen puts serious strain on the eyes.

If you still need to use your mobile phone late in the evening or at night, turn on a table lamp or reduce the brightness of the display.

Dim screen

Low display brightness levels pose almost the same risk to your eyesight as high display brightness levels.

The reason is the same: the strain on the eyes increases.

There is no need to strive to save battery power at the expense of health. The screen brightness level should be at least 50 percent.

"Staring" at the screen

When using a smartphone, many people either slouch or hold the device too close to their face.

The result is problems with vision and posture.

The distance between the gadget and the eyes should be at least 30 centimeters.

Using your smartphone for hours

Don't turn your life into endless internet surfing and continuous work with mobile applications.

Put your cell phone aside as often as possible.

If you can’t stop using your gadget frequently, at least take short breaks.
