Screen Time & Blindness: Doctor Debunks Myth, Reveals Real Eye Risks

• Dr. Tushar Grover states screens don't cause blindness but weaken eyesight and lead to digital eye strain.
• Symptoms of digital eye strain include dry eyes, irritation, blurred vision, and headaches.
• Blue light from screens can damage retinal cells and accelerate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
• Excessive screen time in children increases myopia risk and reduces eye lubrication due to less blinking.
