\"Tech<\/strong>According to\u00a0a recent BBC article<\/a>, opticians are calling for smartphone users to be wary of damaging their eyes. Optician Andy Hepworth has stated that “blue violet light is potentially hazardous and toxic to the back of your eyes… over a long period of time it can potentially damage your eyes… when you’re looking at a smartphone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet.” This puts users at a risk of macular degeneration, eventually causing blindness. Other effects have been reported to, including headaches and disruption of sleep patterns.<\/p>\n
