Blurred Vision After Using a Smartphone

I can’t see things clearly at arm’s length after looking at my smartphone for a long time! It might be a sign of an eye condition!

What is Blurry Vision from Excessive Smartphone Use?

When you look at a smartphone or nearby objects for an extended period, the ciliary muscle (musculus ciliaris) becomes tense and stiff, leading to reduced focusing ability.
If your eyes constantly focus on close objects and remain strained, you may experience decreased vision because your eyes cannot quickly adjust to see distant objects.
Nowadays, more and more young people are experiencing similar symptoms.

Symptoms

Nearby objects appear blurry, although temporarily.
Distance vision may be reduced, and the eyes may have difficulty focusing on objects.

Measures / Improvements

Improve your environment or take breaks to relax your eyes.
Try to blink consciously.
If symptoms do not improve, visit an eye clinic.
Use glasses that can be adjusted for your desired near viewing distance or lenses that support near vision.
