Study: Smartphones Ruining Our Vision

Is your smartphone ruining your vision? A new report says the way we hold our phones can greatly impact our chances of becoming nearsighted. Because you typically hold a phone closer to your face than a book or a laptop, it’s much harder for your eyes to focus. Too much of that during the day can lead to fatigue and eventually lead to nearsightedless, says the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The only way to avoid the strain? If you can manage to hold your phone about 16 inches away from your face.
