What’s necessary after LASIK is giving your eyes their much-needed rest. A nice and lengthy sleep overnight is a requisite for a person who underwent LASIK.

Shortly after the procedure, most patient’s eyes and vision are bound to be much clearer even though they will continue to stabilize even more in the coming weeks and months.

Excessive Usage Of Phone Damaging To Your Eyesight | Shinagawa LASIK Blog

Is Excessive Usage Of Phone Damaging To Your Eyesight?

/0 Comments/in /by

Admit it, spending a lot of time on your phone is a daily routine. Almost everyone spends significant time every day staring at their phone and of course, you know you are one of them.

Given all the advancements in technology and applications, from watching on YouTube, being on Social Media or binge browsing, it’s no surprise that the time you spend on your phone has drastically increased over time.

However, the excess time that you spend on your phone can potentially have a significant impact on your eye health eventually.

Here are some effects that spending too much time on your phone can cause you:

1. Eye Strain – This is the most common effect that extended screen time can give you. When you stare at a digital screen, your pupils get a bit smaller in the process in order to adjust to the brightness. In the process, eye muscles tend to strain, tiring your eyes after prolonged periods of time.

2. Dry Eyes and Headaches – Extended digital screen time is also responsible for your dry eyes, which causes discomfort and itching. That is because you tend to blink less often when you stare at a screen for a prolonged period, lessening the moisture in your eyes.

Alongside dry eyes, headaches are likewise a common side effect associated with eye strain, resulting in the typical high contrast in digital screens between bright backgrounds and dark fonts. These are called tension headaches and they are considered very common nowadays with the average amount of screen time gradually goes up.

3. Long-term Eye Damage – Staring too long at digital screens instantly causes short-term eyesight issues. However, recent in-depth studies also indicate that it may also have long-term effects on your eyesight as well. Studies show that the rate of nearsightedness is drastically on the rise due to the over usage of mobile phones.

If you’re used to spending countless hours on your phone, you better lessen that before it’s too late. It can cause your eyes a lot. Call Shinagawa for proper eye care.

If you want to get the best out of your eyes, you should love them more. Shinagawa can help you with that. Just call our Patient Care Lines: (+632) 368 5238 l (+63) 917 862 7454 l (+63) 921 217 0517 to book a needed eye consultation.

A bright and precise vision can surely help a dream come true.

Such was the case for soul siren Nina.

Aside from her timeless singing career, Nina has a passion for doing makeups. In fact, it was her dream to put up a salon or makeup studio after learning and practicing the craft for quite some time now.

“A few months ago, I started my journey with learning how to do semi-permanent makeup. A lot of my friends have been telling me to put up my own salon or makeup studio since they all know that I do my own makeup & hair during concerts,” shared Nina. “It didn’t interest me that much, though I gained a deeper knowledge of the craft. But this one sparked my interest, and the more I do it, the more I’m loving it even more.”

However, there was one important matter that was holding Nina back from pursuing her passion and ambitions.

“But to have precision in this craft, you have to have impeccable eyesight and I did not have that before.”

Nina decided to hit two birds in one stone by having Z Prime LASIK at Shinagawa. That way, she can have a brighter vision and at the same time, pursue her looming career as a makeup artist.

“Shinagawa helped me achieve not only a 20/10 vision but an even better 20/10 vision, which is above than the normal eyesight. I can’t help but get teary-eyed because of the fact that I’m no longer wearing glasses. I’m just so overjoyed!” expressed the veteran singer.

Nina also described how her LASIK procedure went.

“I had my Z Prime LASIK at Shinagawa. It was so fast, I think it was finished in just less than 10 minutes for both eyes. It was really painless. During and after the procedure, I was really comfortable as it was very lively and positive in the operating room, making it easier for me. It only took me a few minutes to get a clearer vision.”
