Can excessive mobile phone use cause red eye disease?
Disease description:
My child is quite obsessed with mobile phones and often stares at the screen for long periods. Can excessive phone use cause red eye?
Using mobile phones generally does not cause red eye disease, which is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infections. However, people who frequently look at mobile phones often keep their heads down for prolonged periods, leading to straightening or even reversal of the cervical spine's natural curve. This can result in conditions such as cervical disc herniation. These conditions may compress major blood vessels in the neck, reducing blood supply to the brain and causing dizziness. Additionally, prolonged mobile phone use often involves staying up late and sleep deprivation, which can lead to neurological dysfunction, neurasthenia, and other disorders that also contribute to dizziness. Therefore, individuals experiencing dizziness are advised to minimize mobile phone use. When using a phone, it's important to protect the cervical spine, avoid prolonged continuous viewing, and take regular breaks to move and stretch the neck.
