Individuals who often expose their eyes to modern digital devices and blue light are likely to have blurred vision.
An optician at the Federal Medical Centre, Federal Polytechnic Bida, Dr Umur Abdullahi in an interview, explained that long contact with digital screens such as laptop, ipads, and mobile phones create a hole at the yellow spot which is the central visual point in every human eyes.
He also pointed out that long hours of reading without taking a break also contributes to damage of eyes as papers have white backgrounds which reflect as light to the eyes.
He disclosed that, in order  to avoid this eyes infection, users of these digital devices especially students should minimize the amount of time spent gazing their eyes on their digital screen by taking a break as long term usage is very dangerous to the eyes.
Dr Abdullahi also recommended that it’s better to use a little shaded lens known as photo chronic lens because of its capacity to regulate too many light and reduce the amount of brightness.
