Mobile Screen Time and Cataracts: Separating Fact from Fiction

Kathmandu. Old age is believed by many to be the main cause of cataracts. However, excessive use of mobile phones and screens can also be harmful. It can cause eye fatigue, dryness, and vision problems. Studies have shown that 50 to 65 percent of people with excessive screen time suffer from digital eye strain.

However, no concrete scientific evidence has been found to prove that mobile phone or screen use directly causes cataracts. Therefore, it is important to moderate screen time. But there is no need to panic that cataracts can be caused solely by mobile phone use. Screen devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, so we need to be very careful.
