Girl Burns 500 Holes In Her Eyes After Having Screen On Full Brightness For Over 2 Years
Chen&rsquos eyes got messed up after using her phone constantly over two years and one day her eyes started hurting so badly that she had to go to the doctor. She found out that she'd effectively burned up to 500 holes in her cornea as a result of using her phones with full brightness.
Most of us find ourselves glued to our phones for more hours than we'd like to admit. The effect of this is worsened when you keep your phone on high brightness all the time. If you haven't taken this seriously so far, Chen's story might compel you to reconsider.

Chen¡¯s eyes got messed up after using her phone constantly over two years and one day her eyes started hurting so badly that she had to go to the doctor. She found out that she had effectively burned up to 500 holes in her cornea as a result of using her phone with full brightness.

The doctors said that she had been exposing herself to more than 600 lumens (which is a level of brightness). According to the Mirror, exposing your eyes to just two hours of anything brighter than 600 lumens is like putting your eyes in a microwave.

So, the lesson of the day is that you need to be very careful with electronic items and try not to use phones, laptops in the dark. Also, you might want to turn down that brightness.
